Numbers in the Bible are largely symbolic. That’s why you see the same ones over and over.
If you take them as strictly literal, you miss the message being given.

Symbolic of what??? Nothing??? If they are symbolic, they symbolize something...What is it???

“For every beast of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills. Psalm 50:10

Is this verse saying that God only owns the cattle on a thousand hills, or is 1,000 used to represent something else?

If so, what is it?
