| NET Notes |
1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision. 2 tn Or “powerful”; Grk “a great.” 3 tn Or “like hairy sackcloth” (L&N 8.13). 4 tn Grk “like blood,” understanding αἷμα (aima) as a blood-red color rather than actual blood (L&N 8.64). |
