Revelation 5:11

11. I beheld… heard In larger circle, around the circle of the elders, there now beams upon the eye an overwhelming assemblage of angels, pouring their song upon the ear of our apostle. They are now for the first time, and but transiently, visible. The number of them was, in the Greek, myriads of myriads and chiliads of chiliads, the sonorousness of which is still more sonorous in our English translation, the billowy roll of which is most magnificent. The Septuagint of Daniel 7:10 reads, “Thousand of thousands ministered unto him, and myriads of myriads stood before him,” giving by climax the greater number last. John gives the lesser number last, as if not satisfied with the greater number alone without a supplement.
