Revelation 8:3

8:3 Another ⁵  angel holding ⁶  a golden censer ⁷  came and was stationed ⁸  at the altar. A ⁹  large amount of incense was given to him to offer up, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar that is before the throne.

¹ tn Heb “and he shall take the fullness of the censer, coals of fire, from on the altar from to the faces of the Lord.”

² tn Heb “and the fullness of the hollow of his two hands, finely ground fragrant incense.”

³ tn Heb “and he shall bring from house to the veil-canopy.”

⁴ tn Heb “in their drawing near to the faces of the Lord.” The rendering here relies on the use of this expression for the very “presence” of God in Exod 33:14-15 and in the Lev 9:24-10:2 passage, where the Nadab and Abihu catastrophe referred to here is narrated.

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

⁶ tn Grk “having.”

⁷ sn A golden censer was a bowl in which incense was burned. The imagery suggests the OT role of the priest.

⁸ tn The verb “to station” was used to translate ἑστάθη (Jestaqh) because it connotes the idea of purposeful arrangement in English, which seems to be the idea in the Greek.

⁹ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
