A myriad is ten thousand, but often used for an uncountably large number. Jesus' parable features a servant who owes 'ten thousand talents'—an impossible, hyperbolic debt (Matt 18:24). Paul says he'd rather speak five intelligible words than 'ten thousand words' in an unknown tongue (1 Cor 14:19). He tells the Corinthians they may have 'countless guides' but only one father (1 Cor 4:15). The term emphasizes vastness beyond easy counting. Spanish 'diez mil' and French 'dix mille' preserve the literal number, while 'countless' captures the hyperbolic sense.
