Usage: The term תִּשְׁעִים is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the number ninety. It appears in various contexts, often in genealogies, historical accounts, and descriptions of quantities.

Context: The Hebrew word תִּשְׁעִים (tish'im) is a numerical term used to represent the number ninety. It is derived from the root תֵּשַׁע (tesha'), which means nine, indicating its function as a multiple of nine. This term is used in various passages throughout the Old Testament, often in contexts involving age, quantities, or measurements.

For example, in Genesis 5:9, it is used to describe the age of Enosh: "Enosh lived ninety years, and he became the father of Kenan." Similarly, in Ezra 2:64, it is part of the enumeration of the exiles returning to Jerusalem: "The whole assembly numbered 42,360, besides their 7,337 menservants and maidservants, along with their 200 male and female singers."

The use of תִּשְׁעִים is consistent with the Hebrew tradition of using specific numbers to convey historical and genealogical information. It reflects the ancient Hebrew practice of recording ages, census data, and other numerical details with precision.
