“And there stood before them seventy men of the ancients of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, with every man his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.”
Seventy ancients (representative council echoing Moses' appointees) engaged in incense-burning worship before idolatrous images with thick incense. Leadership's participation indicates apostasy institutionalization at highest governmental levels.
