Strong's Lexicon rebabah: Multitude, ten thousand, myriad Original Word: רְבָבָה Word Origin: Derived from the root רָבַב (ravav), which means "to be many" or "to multiply." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3461 (μυριάς, murias): Often translated as "myriad" or "ten thousand," used in the New Testament to express a large, indefinite number. Usage: The Hebrew word "rebabah" is used to denote a large number or multitude, often quantified as "ten thousand" or "myriad." It is employed in the Hebrew Bible to convey the idea of vastness or an innumerable quantity, whether referring to people, animals, or other entities. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, large numbers were often used symbolically to express greatness or abundance. The number "ten thousand" was a common way to describe an exceedingly large group, as it was one of the largest units of counting in the ancient world. This reflects the agrarian and tribal society of ancient Israel, where population size and the abundance of resources were crucial for survival and prosperity.
