'Four' in the Bible

And they come unto him, bringing a paralytic, borne by four,

and those eating were about four thousand. And he let them away,

'And when the seven to the four thousand, how many hand-baskets full of broken pieces took ye up?' and they said, 'Seven.'

and then he shall send his messengers, and gather together his chosen from the four winds, from the end of the earth unto the end of heaven.
