The Ir HaKodesh had to address all of the Jewish people. During the 3 times a year we all went up to Jerusalem, all of us were considered Chaverim and reliable. One of the components of the Ketores (incense offering in the Temple), Chelvonah – galbanum (70/368 of the overall mixture) represented that the sinners had to be included in the public prayers. The Temple also addressed the entirety of humanity with the 70 bulls on Succos. Anyone could bring an offering.
