         Glosses: a group of a thousand

         Comments: Normally, however, ἐν δέκα χιλιάσιν is simply translated as ‘with ten thousand soldiers.’|In {S:06600501100052} the implication is that each group consists of a thousand each, but the expression ‘thousands upon thousands’ is really a way of emphasizing the enormous number. In a number of languages the equivalent would be ‘millions’ or ‘an exceedingly large number.’
