### Note

«innumerable» gives no exact number, so it cannot be used in a count or a sum; a problem that uses it needs a real number from somewhere else

## In Jewish tradition

Interpretation: Tradition sees countless things, such as sea creatures, as a sign of how great God's creation is, and of God's promise of countless descendants to Abraham. In the primary lessons: a huge crowd, a sky full of stars or an army of small creatures
