Wahyu 6:4

6:4 And another horse, fiery red, ¹  came out, and the one who rode it ²  was granted permission ³  to take peace from the earth, so that people would butcher ⁴  one another, and he was given a huge sword.

Wahyu 8:3

8:3 Another ⁵  angel holding ⁶  a golden censer ⁷  came and was stationed ⁸  at the altar. A ⁹  large amount of incense was given to him to offer up, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar that is before the throne.

Wahyu 17:3

17:3 So ¹⁰  he carried me away in the Spirit ¹¹  to a wilderness, ¹²  and there ¹³  I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.

[6:4]  ¹ tn L&N 79.31 states, “‘fiery red’ (probably with a tinge of yellow or orange).”

[6:4]  ² tn Grk “the one sitting on it.”

[6:4]  ³ tn The word “permission” is implied; Grk “it was given to him to take peace from the earth.”

[6:4]  ⁴ tn BDAG 979 s.v. σφάζω states, “Of the killing of a person by violence…σφάζειν τινά butcher or murder someone (4 Km 10:7; Jer 52:10; Manetho: 609 fgm. 8, 76 Jac. [in Jos., C. Ap. 1, 76]; Demetr.[?]: 722 fgm. 7; Ar. 10, 9) 1J 3:12; Rv 6:4. Pass. (Hdt. 5, 5) 5:9; 6:9; 18:24.”

[8:3]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[8:3]  ⁶ tn Grk “having.”

[8:3]  ⁷ sn A golden censer was a bowl in which incense was burned. The imagery suggests the OT role of the priest.

[8:3]  ⁸ tn The verb “to station” was used to translate ἑστάθη (Jestaqh) because it connotes the idea of purposeful arrangement in English, which seems to be the idea in the Greek.

[8:3]  ⁹ tn 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.

[17:3]  ¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the angel’s invitation to witness the fate of the prostitute.

[17:3]  ¹¹ tn Or “in the spirit.” “Spirit” could refer either to the Holy Spirit or the human spirit, but in either case John was in “a state of spiritual exaltation best described as a trance” (R. H. Mounce, Revelation [NICNT], 75).

[17:3]  ¹² tn Or “desert.”

[17:3]  ¹³ tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text, but is supplied for stylistic reasons.
