Footnotes
The numbers 12 and 70 carry deliberate symbolic weight: twelve springs for the twelve tribes; seventy palms for the seventy souls who descended to Mitzrayim (Ex. 1:5) and the seventy elders of Israel (Ex. 24:1). After the bitterness of Marah, Elim is lavish, structured abundance — YHWH's provision exceeds the complaint, turning scarcity into surplus precisely where Israel doubted.
