'Thousand' in the Bible

But stay about three thousand feet behind it. Keep your distance so you can see which way you should go, for you have not traveled this way before."

About forty thousand battle-ready troops marched past the Lord to fight on the plains of Jericho.

They returned and reported to Joshua, "Don't send the whole army. About two or three thousand men are adequate to defeat Ai. Don't tire out the whole army, for Ai is small."

So about three thousand men went up, but they fled from the men of Ai.

Joshua and the whole army marched against Ai. Joshua selected thirty thousand brave warriors and sent them out at night.

He took five thousand men and set an ambush west of the city between Bethel and Ai.

Twelve thousand men and women died that day, including all the men of Ai.

One of you makes a thousand run away, for the Lord your God fights for you as he promised you he would.
