Wahyu 6:12

6:12 Then ¹⁰  I looked when the Lamb opened the sixth seal, and a huge ¹¹  earthquake took place; the sun became as black as sackcloth made of hair, ¹²  and the full moon became blood red; ¹³ 

[10:9]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the instructions given by the voice.

[10:9]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[10:9]  ³ tn The words “the scroll” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were frequently omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[10:9]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[2:18]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated due to differences between Greek and English style.

[2:18]  ⁶ tn The phrase “the following” after “write” is supplied to clarify that what follows is the content of what is to be written.

[2:18]  ⁷ tn Grk “These things says [the One]…” See the note on the phrase “this is the solemn pronouncement of” in 2:1.

[2:18]  sn The expression This is the solemn pronouncement of reflects an OT idiom. See the note on this phrase in 2:1.

[2:18]  ⁸ tn Grk “a flame of fire.” The Greek term πυρός (puros) has been translated as an attributive genitive.

[2:18]  ⁹ tn The precise meaning of the term translated “polished bronze” (χαλκολιβάνῳ, calkolibanw), which appears no where else in Greek literature outside of the book of Revelation (see 1:15), is uncertain. Without question it is some sort of metal. BDAG 1076 s.v. χαλκολίβανον suggests “fine brass/bronze.” L&N 2.57 takes the word to refer to particularly valuable or fine bronze, but notes that the emphasis here and in Rev 1:15 is more on the lustrous quality of the metal.

[6:12]  ¹⁰ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[6:12]  ¹¹ tn Or “powerful”; Grk “a great.”

[6:12]  ¹² tn Or “like hairy sackcloth” (L&N 8.13).

[6:12]  ¹³ tn Grk “like blood,” understanding αἷμα (aima) as a blood-red color rather than actual blood (L&N 8.64).
