Strong's Lexicon murios: Ten thousand, countless, innumerable Original Word: μυρίος Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: murios Pronunciation: MOO-ree-os Phonetic Spelling: (moo'-ree-oi) Definition: Ten thousand, countless, innumerable Meaning: ten thousand; also used for a very large number, innumerable. Word Origin: Derived from a primary word μυρία (muría), meaning "ten thousand." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is רִבּוֹ (ribbô), Strong's Hebrew 7239, which also means "ten thousand" or "myriad." Usage: The Greek word "μυρίος" (murios) is used to denote a large, indefinite number, often translated as "ten thousand" or "countless." In the context of the New Testament, it is used to express vast quantities or multitudes, emphasizing the idea of an innumerable or immeasurable amount. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the term "μυρίος" was often used to describe the largest conceivable number, similar to how "a million" might be used in modern English. It was a hyperbolic expression to convey the idea of an overwhelming or incalculable quantity. In the context of the New Testament, this term would have been understood by contemporary audiences as a way to express the vastness or greatness of something, often in a metaphorical or symbolic sense.
