Revelation 5:11

Then ¹  I looked and heard the voice of many angels in a circle around the throne, as well as the living creatures and the elders. Their ²  number was ten thousand times ten thousand ³  – thousands times thousands –

De 33:2; 1Ki 22:19; 2Ki 6:16-18; Ps 68:17; Ps 103:20; Ps 148:2; Da 7:10; Heb 12:22; Re 4:4,6,9,10; Re 7:11; Re 19:6

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

² tn Grk “elders, and the number of them was.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

³ tn Or “myriads of myriads.” Although μυριάς (murias) literally means “10,000,” the point of the combination here may simply be to indicate an incalculably huge number. See L&N 60.9.
