Exegesis
Within the quotation, the Hiphil infinitive construct lehakot {לְהַכּוֹת | lə-ḥăqqōṯ} ‘to strike’ governs the numerals chamesh ʾō-šeš pəʿāmîm {חָמֵשׁ אוֹ־שֵׁשׁ פְּעָמִים | ḥāmēš ʾō-šeš pəʿāmîm} ‘five or six times’, expressing hypothetical repeated action.
In context — 2 Kings 13:19
And the man of God became angry with him and said, “You should have struck five or six times; then you would have struck Aram until it was completely destroyed . But now you will strike Aram only three times.”
