Revelation 4:3

4:3 And the one seated on it was like jasper ¹  and carnelian ²  in appearance, and a rainbow looking like it was made of emerald ³  encircled the throne.

Revelation 4:7

4:7 The ⁴  first living creature was like a lion, the ⁵  second creature like an ox, the third creature had a face like a man’s, and the fourth creature looked like an eagle flying.

¹ tn Grk “jasper stone.”

² sn Carnelian was a semiprecious gemstone, usually red in color (L&N 2.36).

³ tn Or “a rainbow emerald-like in appearance.”

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁵ tn Both here and before the phrase “the third,” καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
