10,00 in the bible

The number 10,000 (ten thousand) is mentioned numerous times in the Bible, often used literally for large quantities of people or money, or symbolically to represent an innumerable amount or a vast, complete quantity. 

Literal and Historical Context

The number appears in several historical 

and narrative contexts:

Financial Value: Haman, the Prime Minister of Persia, offered King Ahasuerus 10,000 talents of silver to fund the destruction of the Jews in the kingdom.

Esther 3:9

If it pleases the king, let a decree be issued to destroy them, and I will give ten thousand talents[a] of silver to the king’s administrators for the royal treasury.”

Military/Population Counts:

In the Book of Judges, the Israelites under Ehud slew approximately 10,000 Moabite men of valor (Judges 3:29).

King Nebuchadnezzar took 10,000 captives from Jerusalem to Babylon, including the King, leaders, and craftsmen, in 586 B.C. (2 Kings 24:14).

In the selection of Gideon's army, only 10,000 men remained after the fearful were sent home

 (Judges 7:2-3). 

Symbolic and Metaphorical Use

The number 10,000 is also used to represent an extremely large, immeasurable quantity. In Revelation 5:11, the angels and elders around God's throne are described as "ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands," 

indicating an innumerable host. 

(And people are scared?

"innumerable",
think about it.)

The number can also symbolize divine power and protection. Psalm 91:7 suggests that even if "A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand," God's protection will shield you. Deuteronomy 32:30 uses the numbers to illustrate that one person chasing a thousand, or two putting ten thousand to flight, is only possible with God's intervention. 

The number 10, representing divine order 

(as in the Ten Commandments), 

contributes to 10,000 

symbolizing a complete and vast quantity. 

Key Verses Using "Ten Thousand"

Several verses use the phrase 

"ten thousand." 

Examples include:

Judges 7:3

3 Now announce to the army, ‘Anyone who trembles with fear may turn back and leave Mount Gilead.’” So twenty-two thousand men left, while ten thousand remained.

1 Samuel 18:7

 As they danced, they sang:

“Saul has slain his thousands,

    and David his tens of thousands.”

Psalm 91:7

A thousand may fall at your side,

    ten thousand at your right hand,

    but it will not come near you.

Revelation 5:11

11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders.

Ezekiel 45:3

In the sacred district, measure off a section 

25,000 cubits long and 10,000 cubits wide. 

In it will be the sanctuary, 

the Most Holy Place.

Thats our scoresheet

 from the dice game we play.

First four rolls that counted 

were all 1050.

What's the odds already?

Exactly six turns later

both parties

once again score

1050.

Later one player scores 1500.

The other one gets yet another 1050.

So again, wats the odds,

One player ended up scoring 10,500

and the other with 10,300.

Draw you own conclusions

but here would be mine:

around God's throne are described as

and thousands of thousands,"

 indicating an innumerable host.
