new⁽ⁱ⁾

19 H5221 [H8686] And he smote H376 the men H1053 of Bethshemesh, H7200 [H8804] because they had looked H727 into the ark H3068 of the LORD, H5221 [H8686] even he smote H5971 of the people H2572 fifty H505 thousand H7657 and seventy H582 men: H5971 and the people H56 [H8691] lamented, H3068 because the LORD H5221 [H8689] had smitten H5971 many of the people H1419 with a great H4347 slaughter.

20 H582 And the men H1053 of Bethshemesh H559 [H8799] said, H3201 [H8799] Who is able H5975 [H8800] to stand H6440 at the face of H6918 this holy H3068 LORD H430 God? H5927 [H8799] and to whom shall he go up from us?

21 H7971 [H8799] And they sent H4397 messengers H3427 [H8802] to the inhabitants H7157 of Kirjathjearim, H559 [H8800] saying, H6430 The Philistines H7725 [H8689] have brought again H727 the ark H3068 of the LORD; H3381 [H8798] come ye down, H5927 [H8685] and bring it up to you.

fifty thousand.As it is very improbable that the village of Beth-shemesh should contain, or be capable of employing, 50,070 men in the fields at wheat harvest, much less that they could all peep into the ark, and from the uncommon manner in which it is expressed in the original, it is generally allowed that there is some corruption in the text, or that some explanatory word is omitted. The Hebrew is {shivim ish, chamishim aileph ish,} literally, "seventy men, fifty thousand men:" so LXX. [ .] Vulgate, {septuaginta viros, et quinquaginta millia plebis,} "70 (chief) men, and 50,000 common people." Targum, {besabey \u65533 mma,} "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 [ ,] seventy men; and three reputable MSS. of Dr. Kennicott's also omit "50,000 men." Some learned men, however, would render, by supplying [M\u65533 m,] {mem,} "70 men; fifty out of a thousand;" which supposes about 1,400 present, and that a twentieth part were slain.
