“And they sat down in ranks, by hundreds, and by fifties.”
King James Version (KJV)
6:40 They sat down in ranks - The word properly signifies a parterre or bed in a garden; by a metaphor, a company of men ranged in order, by hundreds and by fifties - That is, fifty in rank, and a hundred in file. So a hundred multiplied by fifty, make just five thousand.
And they sate downe in rankes by hundreds, and by fifties.
