Footnotes

  1. 38 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.
  2. 39 Or “desert.”
  3. 40 The word “God” is supplied based on the previous statements made concerning “the place prepared for the woman” in 12:6.
  4. 41 The reading “and half a time” (καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ, kai hēmisu kairou) is lacking in the important uncial C. Its inclusion, however, is supported by {𝔓47 א A and the rest of the tradition}. There is apparently no reason for the scribe of C to intentionally omit the phrase, and the fact that the word “time” (καιρὸν καὶ καιρούς, kairon kai kairous) appears twice before may indicate a scribal oversight. The parallel statement in Rev 12:6 suggests that the phrase a time, times, and half a time equals 1,260 days (three and a half years of 360 days each).
