From all the tribes of Israel there were a hundred and forty-four thousand :
9After this I looked and saw a vast throng, which no one could count, from every nation, of all tribes, peoples, and languages, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were robed in white and had palms in their hands, 10and they shouted together:
13Then one of the elders turned to me and said, 'These men that are robed in white - who are they and from where do they come?' 14But I answered, 'My lord, you know, not I.' Then he said to me, 'These are the men who have passed through the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
