1 Corinthians 14:10

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.

There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices,.... anvl, "tongues", or "languages", as the Syriac version renders it; that is, as many as there are nations in the world; there may be seventy of them, as the Jews say there were at the confusion of languages at Babel; there may be more or less:

and none of them is without signification: every language, and every word in a language, has a meaning in it, an idea annexed to it, which it conveys to him that understands it, and that cannot be done without a voice ordinarily speaking.
