This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
At the rebuke of five shall ye flee “At the rebuke of five, ten thousand of you shall flee” - In the second line of this verse a word is manifestly omitted, which should answer to one thousand in the first: the Septuagint supply πολλοι, רבים rabbim. But the true word is רבבה rebabah, as I am persuaded any one will be convinced, who will compare the following passages with this place: -
“How should one chase a thousand;
And two put ten thousand (רבבה) to flight?”
Deu 32:30.
“And five of you shall chase a hundred;
And a hundred of you shall chase (רבבה) ten thousand.”
Lev 26:8.
