threescore and ten
|
|
Threescore and six were before mentioned, (Gen 46:26,) so that Joseph and his two sons, together with Jacob himself, complete the seventy persons here enumerated; and the number in Gen 46:15, 18, 22, and 25 amount to that number. The addition of five persons in the LXX. in Gen 46:20, was either the cause or the consequence of another difference here; for in that version the number is seventy-five Gen 46:15, 18, 22, 25. Exd 1:5; Exd 24:1; Deu 10:22; Act 7:14 |
