The Ugaritic texts also refer to the number 70, in the context of the divine family or council of El, the high god of the Canaanite pantheon.
While the number is not emphasized repeatedly or elaborated in mythological detail, it does appear clearly and meaningfully, and it directly informs the biblical worldview reflected in Deuteronomy 32:8–9.
Also worth noting, the Ugaritic texts strongly support the interpretation of Genesis 6:1–4, where the “sons of God” (bene ha’elohim) are understood to be divine beings or angels, not human rulers or descendants of Seth.

Or, one can just accept the wording as not needing intrepretation. The descendants of Seth concept is self-contradictory. According to Jude, there was some non-human sexual couplings going on in Sodom and Gomorrah.
