Exegesis
The final numeric expression shishim ir {שִׁשִּׁ֥ים עִֽיר | šiššîm ’îr} ‘sixty cities’ uses a cardinal followed by a collective noun to denote total count. The English translation preserves the ordered enumeration and construct relations, clarifies the possessive and locative chains, and reflects the cumulative listing.
In context — Joshua 13:30
And their border extended from Mahanaim through all Bashan, the entire kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and all the towns of Jair in Bashan, numbering sixty cities .
