“He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye? go and see. And when they knew, they say, Five, and two fishes.”
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.
