إِنَّ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَشِرْذِمَةٌ قَلِيلُونَ
Inna h a ol a i lashir th imatun qaleeloon a
[bidding them to call out his troops and to proclaim:] "Behold, these [children of Israel] are but a contemptible band;29
  - Mohammad Asad

Lit., "a small band": Zamakhshari, however, suggests that in this context the adjective qalilun is expressive of contempt, and does not necessarily denote "few in numbers".

and to mobilize his people he said: "These Israelites are but a handful of people,
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
'and said,' 'These 'outcasts' are just a handful of people,
  - Mustafa Khattab
(Who said): Lo! these indeed are but a little troop,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
(Saying): "These (Israelites) are but a small band
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
