The plural noun marks large quantities in several settings: in Acts 19:19 the APB renders the books' value as "fifty thousand pieces of silver," while Acts 21:20 describes "how many myriads of Jews" who believed and Luke 12:1 a crowd gathered in such numbers that people trampled one another. Hebrews 12:22 and Jude 1:14 place the term in heavenly scenes, and Revelation 5:11 and Revelation 9:16 use it in explicitly stated immense numbers.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly retains "myriads" in descriptions of crowds and heavenly or military numbers, while Acts 19:19 renders the value as "fifty thousand pieces of silver." These renderings show the verse-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent in every clause.
