Barnes' Notes
The time appointed - Perhaps "the time of the assembly," meaning the time of the evening sacrifice, at three o' clock, when the people assembled for prayer, more commonly described as "the time of the evening oblation" Daniel 9:21; I Kings 18:29, I Kings 18:36; Acts 3:1; Luke 1:10.
Seventy thousand - It is the most destructive plague recorded as having fallen upon the Israelites. In the plague that followed the rebellion of Korah there died 14,700 Numbers 16:49; in the plague, on account of Baal-Peor, 24,000 Numbers 25:9; I Corinthians 10:8.
