RBT Translation:
The 144 Thousand
And I perceived and behold! the Lamb, he who has been standing ready upon the a mountain of Zion and in company with himself one hundred forty four thousand, those who are holding the Name of himself,21 and the Name of the Father of himself, that which has been written upon the Between-Eyes of themselves.
72 x 2 = 144

"And the Women are eyeing, the ones who laugh/play, and they are saying, 'He Who is Asked ("Saul") attacked within a thousand of himself, but Beloved ("David") within a myriad of himself!'"

(1 Samuel 18:7 RBT)
LITV Translation:
And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on Mount Zion! And with Him were a hundred and forty four thousands, with the name of His Father having been written on their foreheads.
ESV Translation:
Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.

The 144 Thousands

The Greek ἔχουσαι is the feminine nominative plural present participle of the verb ἔχω in Ancient Greek, which means "to have," "to hold," or "to possess" and it was always a feminine nominative plural. Those who have/hold.

The Greek for 144 thousands is ἑκατὸν τεσσαράκοντα τέσσαρες χιλιάδες and applies to both masculine and feminine since χιλιάδες (thousands) is a feminine noun and not numeral, but numerals themselves are not gender-specific when used with plural nouns like χιλιάδες.

ἑκατὸν τεσσαράκοντα τέσσαρες χιλιάδες translates to "one hundred forty-four thousands," where χιλιάδες functions as the noun for "thousands," and the numerals before it (ἑκατὸν τεσσαράκοντα τέσσαρες) describe how many thousands there are.

Compare xπολλαὶ χιλιάδες ταλάντων many thousands of talents
