Rev 7:4 says (in part): 

EK PASHS FULHS hUIWN ISRAHL

Should this be translated "of all the tribes of the sons of Israel" (implying that the 144,000 are ALL 
of Israel) or "out of every tribe of the sons of Israel" (implying that they are but a segment of the 
whole of Israel). Or should it be translated another way?

Basically I want to know if this scripture is definitely saying the 144,000 are ALL of Israel or a PART of 
Israel, or it could go both ways (as far as grammar is concerned).

Regards.
