Wahyu 12:6

12:6 and she ¹  fled into the wilderness ²  where a place had been prepared for her ³  by God, so she could be taken care of ⁴  for 1,260 days.

Wahyu 12:13-16

12:13 Now ⁵  when the dragon realized ⁶  that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 12:14 But ⁷  the woman was given the two wings of a giant eagle so that she could fly out into the wilderness, ⁸  to the place God ⁹  prepared for her, where she is taken care of – away from the presence of the serpent – for a time, times, and half a time. ¹⁰  12:15 Then ¹¹  the serpent spouted water like a river out of his mouth after the woman in an attempt to ¹²  sweep her away by a flood, 12:16 but ¹³  the earth came to her rescue; ¹⁴  the ground opened up ¹⁵  and swallowed the river that the dragon had spewed from his mouth.

[12:6]  ¹ tn Grk “and the woman,” which would be somewhat redundant in English.

[12:6]  ² tn Or “desert.”

[12:6]  ³ tn Grk “where she has there a place prepared by God.”

[12:6]  ⁴ tn Grk “so they can take care of her.”

[12:13]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” because the clause it introduces is clearly resumptive.

[12:13]  ⁶ tn Grk “saw.”

[12:14]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.

[12:14]  ⁸ tn Or “desert.”

[12:14]  ⁹ tn The word “God” is supplied based on the previous statements made concerning “the place prepared for the woman” in 12:6.

[12:14]  ¹⁰ tc The reading “and half a time” (καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ, kai {hmisu kairou) is lacking in the important uncial C. Its inclusion, however, is supported by {Ì⁴⁷ א A and the rest of the ms tradition}. There is apparently no reason for the scribe of C to intentionally omit the phrase, and the fact that the word “time” (καιρὸν καὶ καιρούς, kairon kai kairou") appears twice before may indicate a scribal oversight.

[12:14]  sn The parallel statement in Rev 12:6 suggests that the phrase a time, times, and half a time equals 1,260 days (three and a half years of 360 days each).

[12:15]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[12:15]  ¹² tn Grk “so that he might make her swept away.”

[12:16]  ¹³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.

[12:16]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “the earth helped the woman.”

[12:16]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “the earth opened its mouth” (a metaphor for the ground splitting open).
