Footnotes
- 37 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the somewhat parenthetical nature of the description of the city.
- 38 Or “the city lies square.” On κεῖμαι (keimai) in this context, 2 states, “lie, of things … ἡ πόλις τετράγωνος κεῖται is laid out as a square Rv 21:16.”
- 39 Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
- 40 Grk “with the rod”; the word “measuring” is supplied from the description in v. 15.
- 41 Or “two thousand two hundred kilometers,” Grk “12,000 stades.” A stade was a measure of length about 607 ft (185 m).
