Wahyu 9:15-16

9:15 Then ¹  the four angels who had been prepared for this ²  hour, day, ³  month, and year were set free to kill ⁴  a third of humanity. 9:16 The ⁵  number of soldiers on horseback was two hundred million; ⁶  I heard their number.

[9:15]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[9:15]  ² tn The Greek article τήν (thn) has been translated with demonstrative force here.

[9:15]  ³ tn The Greek term καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following term “month” since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[9:15]  ⁴ tn Grk “so that they might kill,” but the English infinitive is an equivalent construction to indicate purpose here.

[9:16]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[9:16]  ⁶ tn Grk “twenty thousand of ten thousands.”
