Revelation 9:16
And the number of horsemen of war, were twenty times ten thousand. And I heard the number of them:

*Re 9:16 will now be corrected to read:
Code:
And the number of horsemen of war, were twenty times tens of thousands. And I heard the number of them:


Tyndale's original English translation actually says twenty times xM

The Greek δυο μυριαδες μυριαδων seems to hint at an old saying that means twenty of ten thousands by ten thousands; sort of like the English saying tens of thousands to imply a great amount to number (like 2 billion perhaps)... as the ancients of Greekland experienced in great battles would gather the formation to be A TERRIBLE AMOUNT OF HOSTS.
