The number seventy, as represented by שִׁבְעִים, is a significant numerical symbol in biblical literature, reflecting themes of completeness, divine order, and fulfillment.

Usage: The term שִׁבְעִים is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the number seventy. It appears in various contexts, including genealogies, historical accounts, and symbolic representations.

Context: The number seventy (שִׁבְעִים) holds significant symbolic and literal importance in the Hebrew Bible. It is often associated with completeness and perfection, similar to the number seven, from which it is derived. The number seventy appears in several key biblical narratives and contexts:

• Genealogical and Historical Contexts: Seventy descendants of Jacob went to Egypt (Genesis 46:27; Exodus 1:5). This number signifies the foundational family unit of the Israelites in Egypt.
• Judicial and Leadership Contexts: Moses appointed seventy elders to assist him in leading the people of Israel (Numbers 11:16-25). This reflects the number's association with governance and wisdom.
• Prophetic and Symbolic Contexts: The seventy years of Babylonian captivity (Jeremiah 25:11-12) symbolize a period of judgment and eventual restoration for Israel.
• Other Notable Mentions: The seventy nations listed in the Table of Nations (Genesis 10) represent the fullness of the world's peoples. Additionally, seventy sons of Gideon (Judges 8:30) and seventy palm trees at Elim (Exodus 15:27) further illustrate the number's recurring presence.

The use of seventy in these contexts underscores its role in conveying completeness, divine order, and fulfillment of God's purposes.
