Wahyu 17:9

17:9 (This requires ¹  a mind that has wisdom.) The seven heads are seven mountains ²  the woman sits on. They are also seven kings:

Wahyu 21:14

21:14 The ³  wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

[17:9]  ¹ tn Grk “Here is the mind that has wisdom.”

[17:9]  ² tn It is important to note that the height of “mountains” versus “hills” or other topographical terms is somewhat relative. In terms of Palestinian topography, Mount Tabor (traditionally regarded as the mount of transfiguration) is some 1,800 ft (550 m) above sea level, while the Mount of Olives is only some 100 ft (30 m) higher than Jerusalem.

[21:14]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
