16:21And gigantic hailstones, weighing about a hundred pounds69 each, fell from heaven70 on people,71 but they72 blasphemed God because of the plague of hail, since it73 was so horrendous.74
Footnotes
- 69 Here ταλαντιαῖος states, “weighing a talent … χάλαζα μεγάλη ὡς ταλαντιαία a severe hailstorm with hailstones weighing a talent (the talent=125 librae, or Roman pounds of c. 343 gr. or 12 ounces each) (weighing about a hundred pounds ) Rv 16:21.” This means each hailstone would weigh just under 100 pounds or 40 kilograms.
- 70 Or “the sky.” Due to the apocalyptic nature of this book, it is probably best to leave the translation as “from heaven,” since God is ultimately the source of the judgment.
- 71 Grk “on men,” but ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos) is used here in a generic sense to refer to people in general (the hailstones did not single out adult males, but would have also fallen on women and children).
- 72 Grk “the men”; for stylistic reasons the pronoun “they” is used here.
- 73 Grk “the plague of it.”
- 74 Grk “since the plague of it was exceedingly great.”
