seventy years: In one sense, which Jeremiah saw, this meant the length of captivity - Daniel does not contradict, but extends the prophecy by taking weeks of years instead of single years, about 70 weeks of years. So we believe that the mixture of references comes from the well-known pattern of multiple fulfillment. (Fr. Most)
