Strong's Lexicon ribbo: Ten thousand, myriad Original Word: רְבּוֹ Word Origin: Derived from the root רָבַב (ravav), meaning "to be many" or "to multiply." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3461 μυριάς (myrias): Often translated as "myriad" or "ten thousand," used similarly in the New Testament to denote a large, indefinite number. Usage: The Hebrew word "ribbo" is used to denote a large, indefinite number, often translated as "ten thousand" or "myriad" in English. 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
