Exegesis
Chanokh {חֲנוֹךְ | ḥă-nōḵ} functions as the subject, immediately followed by the compound numeral phrase chamesh veshishim {חָמֵשׁ וְשִׁשִּׁים | ḥā-mēš wə-šiš-šîm}, literally ‘five and sixty’. Hebrew builds such numbers additively (units + tens), which is rendered as the single English cardinal “sixty-five.”
Root and etymology
ḥ-n-k

In context — Genesis 5:21
And Enoch lived sixty-five years, and he fathered Methuselah .
