‏ Revelation of John 5:11

11 Then ^{▼▼tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.} 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 ^{▼▼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.} number was ten thousand times ten thousand ^{▼▼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.} —thousands times thousands—
