7. 4 KAI HKOUSA TON ARIQMON TWN ESFRAGISMENWN, hEKATON TESSERAKONTA TESSARES XILIADES, ESFRAGISMENOI EK PASHS FULHS hUIWN ISRAHL
5 EK FULHS IOUDA DWDEKA XILIADES ESFRAGISMENOI,
EK FULHS hROUBHN DWDEKA XILIADES,
EK FULHS GAD DWDEKA XILIADES …
The text states that the number is EK PASHS FULHS which would indicate every tribe is to be included so that the number is a total and would include the separate number from each individual tribe. Read the entire passage and add up the numbers, and you will arrive at 144,000 for the total of the 12 tribes or IOW "all Israel."

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.
