Many thanks to Philip Pope for the permission to use his 2003 translation of the English King James Version Bible into Thai. Here's a link to the mission's website: www.thaipope.org
A 'thousand' means much, many, a countless number, a whole era of time, an abundance. When used in reference to the Lord, it actually means a number greater than that: In those cases it means what is infinite, what is truly without end.
