Notes on the Whole Bible
Albert Barnes (1798–1870) · 19th-century historical commentary

Seventy men - Compare Exodus 24:9-10. The vision may have pointed to the contrast between the times. The number “seven” is symbolic of the covenant between Yahweh and His people, and so the “seventy” men exhibit forcibly the breach of the covenant. It is a figure of the covert idolatry of the whole people. return to 'Top of Page'
