Exegesis
The numerals are split into two coordinated elements: arbaim {אַרְבָּעִים | ʾar-bā-ʿîm} ‘forty’ and ushmonah meot {וּשְׁמֹנֶה מֵאוֹת | û-šə-mo-neh mê-ʾôt} ‘and eight hundred’. Hebrew expresses them additively, but conceptually they combine to 840 years, which is reflected as a single total in English.
In context — Genesis 5:13
And Kenan lived after he fathered Mahalalel 840 years , and he fathered sons and daughters.
