Exegesis
The numeric construction shiv‘īm ’elef {שִׁבְעִים אֶלֶף | šiv‘īm ’elef} ‘seventy thousand’ illustrates multiplicative grouping. The formal retains “fell” for literal correspondence, while the dynamic uses “died” to clarify the fatal outcome.
In context — 1 Chronicles 21:14
And the LORD sent a plague in Israel, and seventy thousand men fell from Israel.
