It is used in the Bible to convey the idea of a vast multitude, often in the context of counting people, armies, or other large groups.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, numbers were often used symbolically. The number ten thousand (ribbo) was not always meant to be taken literally but was used to express a very large quantity. This reflects the ancient Near Eastern practice of using large numbers to signify abundance or completeness. The concept of a "myriad" was common in the ancient world, where precise counting was less important than conveying the idea of vastness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7231.htm">rabab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>ten thousand, myriad<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>120,000* (1), 18,000* (1), 20,000* (2), 42,360* (2), 61,000* (1), myriads (1), ten thousand (1), tens of thousands (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">רִבּוֺ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">רִבּוֺא</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font><sup>Ezra 2:64</sup> <font size="+1"><b>ten thousand, myriad</b></font> (later (Aramaizing) synonym of foregoing; perhaps for Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">רִבּוּ(תׅ</font>, Kö<sup>ii. 1, 221 f.</sup>, but Palmyrene <font class="hebrew2">רבו</font> Lzb<sup>367</sup>); — absolute <font class="hebrew2">רִבּוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/29-7.htm">1 Chronicles 29:7</a> (twice in verse); <a href="/interlinear/jonah/4-11.htm">Jonah 4:11</a> (? construct), + construct <a href="/interlinear/hosea/8-12.htm">Hosea 8:12</a> Kt (see below); <font class="hebrew2">רִבּוֺא</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezra/2-64.htm">Ezra 2:64</a> = <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/7-66.htm">Nehemiah 7:66</a>,71 (van d.
