Footnotes

  1. 3 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.
  2. 4 See Rev 4:6 where the sea of glass was mentioned previously.
  3. 5 Or “had been victorious over”; traditionally, “had overcome.”
  4. 6 Grk “of his name, standing.” A new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the words “They were.”
  5. 7 Or “on.” The preposition ἐπί (epi) with the accusative case could mean “on, at, by, near”; given the nature of this scene appearing in a vision, it is difficult to know precisely which the author of Revelation intended. See ἐπί 1.c.γ, “At, by, near someone or someth.”
  6. 8 Grk “harps of God.” The phrase τοῦ θεοῦ (tou theou) has been translated as a genitive of agency.
