the_o people_n of_o other_o town_n come_v flock_v together_o to_o see_v the_o ark_n and_o that_o the_o great_a number_n that_o be_v smite_v be_v of_o they_o 4._o but_o junius_n himself_o in_o his_o latter_a edition_n reverse_v this_o opinion_n and_o think_v that_o this_o number_n of_o fifty_o thousand_o and_o seventie_o man_n be_v partly_o of_o such_o of_o the_o israelite_n as_o come_v flock_v
