NETBible

Now¹ the locusts looked like horses equipped for battle. On² their heads were something like crowns similar to gold,³ and their faces looked like men’s⁴ faces.

NET Notes

¹tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of the description of the locusts, which is somewhat parenthetical in the narrative.

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

³tn The translation attempts to bring out the double uncertainty in this clause in the Greek text, involving both the form (ὡς στέφανοι, Jw" stefanoi, “like crowns”) and the material (ὅμοιοι χρυσῷ, {omoioi crusw, “similar to gold”).

⁴tn Or “human faces.” The Greek term ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpos) is often used in a generic sense, referring to both men and women. However, because “women’s hair” in the next clause suggests a possible gender distinction here, “men’s” was retained.
