Exegesis
The purpose infinitive le-mallot {לְמַלֹּאות | lə-mal-lōṯ} introduces divine intention, leading to le-char-vot Yerushalayim shivʿim shanah {לְחָרְבוֹת יְרוּשָׁלַיִם שִׁבְעִים שָׁנָה | lə-ḥar-ḇōṯ Yə-rū-ša-lā-yim šiv-ʿîm šā-nāh} ‘for the desolations of Jerusalem, seventy years.’ The Hebrew word order and construct chains emphasize divine agency and designate a fixed period of exile.
In context — Daniel 9:2
In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the books the number of the years concerning which the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet: that seventy years must be completed for the desolations of Jerusalem .
