Footnotes

  1. 4 Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  2. 5 Grk “having.”
  3. 6 A golden censer was a bowl in which incense was burned. The imagery suggests the OT role of the priest.
  4. 7 The verb “to station” was used to translate ἑστάθη (hestathē) because it connotes the idea of purposeful arrangement in English, which seems to be the idea in the Greek.
  5. 8 Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
