But what do you mean by 'standard'? Is there a concensus among the church? Or are you using the word 'standard' the way it is used in the words English 'Standard' Version, or New American 'Standard' Bible where the word has virtually no meaning at all?
Well, I mean "standard" in the sense that that's the number I always read in all the usual reference works and commentaries. It's become the accepted figure, which I think is reasonable.
