And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.

Verse 4 is found in chapter 11 of Joshua. Jabin, king of Hazor, gathers a northern coalition much larger than the previous ones. God again commands Joshua not to fear and promises to deliver the enemies into his hands. The battle takes place near the waters of Merom, where Israel launches a surprise attack. The destruction of the horses and chariots reflects the instructions received and shows that Israel must not depend on the military technology of the great Canaanite powers to secure the territorial promise.

Diese zogen aus mit allem ihrem Heer, ein großes Volk, so viel als des Sandes am Meer, und sehr viel Rosse und Wagen.
Estos salieron, y con ellos todos sus ejércitos, pueblo mucho en gran manera, como la arena que está a la orilla del mar, con gran muchedumbre de caballos y carros.
Salieron ellos con todos sus ejércitos, un pueblo tan numeroso como la arena a la orilla del mar, con muchísimos caballos y carros.
Ils sortirent, eux et toutes leurs armées avec eux, formant un peuple innombrable comme le sable qui est sur le bord de la mer, et ayant des chevaux et des chars en très grande quantité.
Ed essi uscirono fuori, con tutti i loro eserciti, ch’erano una gran gente, come la rena ch’è in su la riva del mare, in moltitudine, e con cavalli e carri, in grandissimo numero.
Saíram pois estes, e todos os seus exércitos com eles, muito povo, em multidão como a areia que está na praia do mar; e muitíssimos cavalos e carros.
他們和他們的眾軍都出來,一大隊人馬,多如海邊的沙,並有極多的戰車戰馬。
