Semantic domains 4 entries
- Quantity002001001046
- This numeral denotes the number sixty, as in Genesis 5:15's account of Mahalalel living sixty-five years before fathering Jared.
- Frequency002001003009
- The numeral also marks a recurring count within a genealogical sequence, as in Genesis 5:21's record of Enoch living sixty-five years before fathering Methuselah.
- Stone001002005016
- שִׁשִּׁים (shishshîym, H8346) is the cardinal number "sixty." The quotation "Jared lived 162 years, and fathered Enoch" at Genesis 5:18 shows this numeral sense, which does not independently attest the "Stone" domain; that classification is bundle-shared with שֵׁשׁ (shêsh, H8336) ("fine linen") and שֵׁשׁ (shêsh, H8337) ("six") in the source data and is not confirmed by this lexeme's own occurrences.
- Cloth001002005003
- This lexeme's genuine tagged occurrences (e.g. Genesis 5:15, "Mahalalel lived sixty-five years"; Genesis 5:23, "all the days of Enoch were 365 years") illustrate the number "sixty," used in genealogical age and duration counts, not a textile/cloth sense; this Cloth domain code is bundle-shared from the fact-packet's cognate cluster (which includes roots for "lily" and "rejoice") and carries no tagged occurrence of שִׁשִּׁים (shishshîym, H8346) independently attesting a cloth sense of its own.
