A score is twenty, and fourscore is therefore eighty.
Gen 50:3 And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of embalming: and the Egyptians wept for him three-score and ten days. When Joseph's father died in Egypt, they mourned him 3 x 20 days plus 10 more = 70 days total. " Some say a score is 10 more than 50, (like half dozen!) Also Psalms 90:10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years = we live 70 maybe 80 if lucky!
A hundred fourscore is equal to 400 (since a score is 20, and 100 times 20 equals 2000). Therefore, when you add five thousand to it, you get 2000 + 5000, which equals 7000. So, a hundred fourscore and five thousand is 7000.
A score means 20, so fourscore and seven years is 87 years (20*4 + 7,) and threescore and six days is 67 days (20*3 + 7)
A period of ten years is a decade.
