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 , rabbim . But the true word is 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 ( ) to flight?"
Deuteronomy 32:30.
"And five of you shall chase a hundred;
And a hundred of you shall chase ( ) ten thousand."
Leviticus 26:8.
