תְּשִׁיעִי, H8673
Ninety — the cardinal number 90, used in ages, measurements, and counts throughout the OT.
The cardinal number ninety, appearing in genealogical ages, population counts, and chronological notices. It figures prominently in the antediluvian genealogies of Genesis 5 (Enosh lived ninety years, Gen 5:9; Mahalalel lived sixty-five years and begot Jared at 895 with ninety in the tally) and in the age of Abraham and Sarah at Isaac's promise (Gen 17:1, 17). French splits the rendering between the native 'quatre-vingt-dix' and the bracketed Hebrew form, while Spanish and German straightforwardly use 'noventa' and 'neunzig.' The number often appears compounded with units (ninety-six, ninety-eight, etc.) in census and temple-inventory lists.
Senses
