seven-times-a-thousand (masculine ones, accusative)

Rootἑπτακισχίλιοι (heptakischilioi)
Core Meaningsseven-times-a-thousand, seven thousand
Semantic Rangethe specific number seven thousand; a large but definite counted group; a symbolic remnant or complete subset within a larger whole
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical usage, seven thousand can signify a divinely preserved remnant (e.g., those not bowing to Baal), combining the symbolic fullness of seven with the magnitude of a thousand to convey completeness within a defined group.
Morphological NotesAdjectival numeral (EN); accusative masculine plural (AMP). It modifies a masculine plural noun and functions syntactically as a direct object or object complement.
Rendering RationaleThe rendering preserves the compound structure of the Greek—ἑπτάκις (seven times) + χίλιοι (thousand)—by expressing it as "seven-times-a-thousand." The accusative masculine plural form is reflected by indicating that it describes masculine plural entities functioning as the direct object in the clause.
