A skilful leech is gezegde

 A skilful leech is better far, than half a hundred men of war.
  Samuel Butler

 The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skilful in war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore, that went out to the war.

 I think the more rational explanation is that the excision of a five-to-six-foot leech from the surface of a human body means that that body is going to have more of its own blood in its own veins. Unless the leech finds another body, it is going to go hungry.

 We believe it will reduce the number of birds that are seen on other lakes in the vicinity of Leech Lake. When they are harassed at one site, they can pick up and move considerable distances. And Lake Winnie is just a hop, skip and jump away from Leech Lake.

 And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men that warred, / (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep, / And thirty and six thousand beeves, / And thirty thousand asses and five hundred, / And sixteen thousand persons;) / Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty, both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.

 And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five hundred sheep: / And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and fifteen.

 And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: / A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.

 Moreover the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, / Take thou also unto thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty shekels, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty shekels, / And of cassia five hundred shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of oil olive an hin: / And thou shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be an holy anointing oil.

 Hence that general is skilful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend; and he is skilful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack.

 One worthwhile task carried to a successful conclusion is worth half-a-hundred half-finished tasks.

 Their horses were seven hundred thirty and six; their mules, two hundred forty and five; / Their camels, four hundred thirty and five; their asses, six thousand seven hundred and twenty.

 Their horses, seven hundred thirty and six: their mules, two hundred forty and five: / Their camels, four hundred thirty and five: six thousand seven hundred and twenty asses.

 And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make a decree to all the treasurers which are beyond the river, that whatsoever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, shall require of you, it be done speedily, / Unto an hundred talents of silver, and to an hundred measures of wheat, and to an hundred baths of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and salt without prescribing how much.

 Half a league, half a league,/ Half a league onward,/ All in the valley of Death/ Rode the six hundred.
  Alfred, Lord Tennyson

 Ours is a mongrel language which started with a child's vocabulary of three hundred words, and now consists of two hundred and twenty-five thousand; the whole lot, with the exception of the original and legitimate three hundred, borrowed, stolen, smo
