'Thousand' in the Bible

Yet there shall be a space between you and it, about two thousand cubits by measure. Don't come near to it, that you may know the way by which you must go; for you have not passed this way before."

About forty thousand men, ready and armed for war passed over before Yahweh to battle, to the plains of Jericho.

They returned to Joshua, and said to him, "Don't let all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and strike Ai. Don't make all the people to toil there, for there are only a few of them."

So about three thousand men of the people went up there, and they fled before the men of Ai.

So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai. Joshua chose thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor, and sent them out by night.

He took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.

All that fell that day, both of men and women, were twelve thousand, even all the men of Ai.

One man of you shall chase a thousand; for it is Yahweh your God who fights for you, as he spoke to you.
