Three score and ten" is an idiomatic phrase meaning 70 years, often used to define the traditional, biblical lifespan of a human. Originating from the King James Bible (Psalm 90:10), a "score" equals 20 years, making "three score" ([imath]3 \times 20[/imath]) + 10 equal to 70. It typically symbolizes a full, complete life.
