In 1 Samuel 6:19 the NASB (also the King James) say that 50,070 died and the Amplified (also the NIV) say that 70 men of Bethshemesh were slain after looking in the Ark. What is the right number? | ||||||
2 | How many died in Bethshemesh? | 1 Sam 6:19 | Searcher56 | 39223 | ||
Bill Hamilton, It is 70. -The 50000 entered may be a copiest error/ -It is entered grammatically incorrect -The town could hold 50,070. Source: NIV Study Bible Searcher |

3 | Is it really a copiest error? | 1 Sam 6:19 | Bill Hamilton | 39422 | ||
I am wondering if the answer might be 70 of which 50 were thousandmen (chief men) as is indicated in Young's translation and Green's "Modern King James"? Could it be that Green's "Literal" translation could be understood as meaning five percent when it says "50 out of a thousand men" so that 70 out of 1400 men were smitten? | ||||||
4 | Is it really a copiest error? | 1 Sam 6:19 | srbaegon | 39427 | ||
Hello Bill This same line of thinking has been put forth to account for the census numbers of the children of Israel. Except there it is viewed as family groups rather then chiefs of thousandmen. You can see the paper at http://www.noble-minded.org/exodus.html Steve |
