Vulgate, septuaginta viros, et quinquaginta millia plebis. "70 (chief) men, and 50,000 common people." Targum, besabey amma, "of the elders of the people 70 men, ovekahala, and in the congregation 50,000 men." But the Syriac, chamsho alphin weshivin gavrin, "5,000 and 70 men;" with which the Arabic agrees; while Josephus has only εβδομηκοντα, seventy men; and three reputable manuscripts of Dr. Kennicott's also omit "50,000 men." Some learned men, however, would render, by supplying מ, mem, "70 men; fifty out of a thousand;" which supposes about 1,400 present, and that a twentieth part were slain.ReciprocalExodus 30:20 - die not; Leviticus 10:2 - they died; Numbers 1:51 - the stranger; 1:53 - there be; 3:10 - and the stranger; 4:18 - General; 8:19 - that there; 17:13 - any thing; 18:4 - a stranger; 2 Samuel 24:15 - the Lord; 1 Chronicles 21:14 - seventy; 2 Chronicles 25:21 - Bethshemesh; Psalm 9:16 - known; Luke 19:21 - because; Acts 5:5 - greatVerse 201 Samuel 5:8-12; Numbers 17:12, 17:13; 2 Samuel 6:7, 6:9; 1 Chronicles 13:11-13; Psalm 76:7; Malachi 3:2; Luke 5:8, 8:37ReciprocalLeviticus 10:3 - I will be; 11:44 - ye shall; Joshua 24:19 - holy; 1 Samuel 5:7 - The ark; 1 Kings 4:9 - Bethshemesh; 1 Chronicles 13:12 - afraid of God; 2 Chronicles 25:21 - Bethshemesh; Psalm 9:16 - known; 119:120 - My flesh; Zechariah 3:1 - standing; Mark 5:15 - and they; Acts 19:17 - and fearVerse 21KirjathjearimJoshua 18:14; Judges 18:12; 1 Chronicles 13:5, 13:6; Psalm 78:60; Jeremiah 7:12, 7:14Reciprocal1 Samuel 7:1 - Kirjathjearim; Psalm 78:67 - General; Ezekiel 25:15 - to destroy; Mark 5:15 - and they
