Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1835 ἑξήκοντα (hexēkonta): The Greek equivalent for the number sixty, used in the New Testament in similar contexts, such as in the parable of the sower in Matthew 13:8, where some seeds yield sixtyfold.

Usage: The term שִׁשִּׁים is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the number sixty. It appears in various contexts, including genealogies, ages, quantities, and measurements.

Context: The Hebrew word שִׁשִּׁים (shishshiym) is a cardinal number representing sixty. It is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe quantities, ages, and other numerical values. For example, in Genesis 5:15, Mahalalel lived sixty-five years before becoming the father of Jared. In Exodus 26:26, the construction of the Tabernacle includes sixty pillars. The number sixty is also significant in the context of military and census records, as seen in Numbers 1:39, where the tribe of Dan is recorded as having sixty-two thousand seven hundred men. Additionally, in 1 Kings 6:2, the dimensions of Solomon's temple include a length of sixty cubits. The use of sixty in these contexts highlights its importance in the cultural and religious life of ancient Israel.
