Revelation 6:8

6:8 So ¹  I looked ²  and here came ³  a pale green ⁴  horse! The ⁵  name of the one who rode it ⁶  was Death, and Hades followed right behind. ⁷  They ⁸  were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill its population with the sword, ⁹  famine, and disease, ¹⁰  and by the wild animals of the earth.

Revelation 6:11

6:11 Each ¹¹  of them was given a long white robe and they were told to rest for a little longer, until the full number was reached ¹²  of both their fellow servants ¹³  and their brothers who were going to be killed just as they had been.

Revelation 8:3

8:3 Another ¹⁴  angel holding ¹⁵  a golden censer ¹⁶  came and was stationed ¹⁷  at the altar. A ¹⁸  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.

Revelation 12:14

12:14 But ¹⁹  the woman was given the two wings of a giant eagle so that she could fly out into the wilderness, ²⁰  to the place God ²¹  prepared for her, where she is taken care of – away from the presence of the serpent – for a time, times, and half a time. ²² 

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the summons by the fourth creature.

² tc The reading “and I looked” (καὶ εἶδον, kai eidon) or some slight variation (e.g., ἶδον, idon) has excellent ms support ({א A C P 1611}) and its omission seems to have come through the mss that have already placed “and look” (καὶ ἴδε or καὶ βλέπε [kai ide or kai blepe]) after the verb “come” (ἔρχου, ercou) in 6:1. Thus, for these copyists it was redundant to add “and I looked” again.

³ tn The phrase “and here came” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).

⁴ tn A sickly pallor, when referring to persons, or the green color of plants. BDAG 1085 s.v. χλωρός 2 states, “pale, greenish gray…as the color of a pers. in sickness contrasted with appearance in health…so the horse ridden by Death…ἵππος χλωρός Rv 6:8.” Because the color of the horse is symbolic, “pale green” is used in the translation. Cf. NIV, NCV “pale”; NASB “ashen.”

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

⁶ tn Grk “the one sitting on it.”

⁷ tn Grk “And Hades was following with him.” The Greek expression μετ᾿ αὐτοῦ (met’ autou, “with him”) is Semitic and indicates close proximity. The translation “followed right behind” reflects this.

⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

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

¹⁰ tn Grk “with death.” θάνατος (qanatos) can in particular contexts refer to a manner of death, specifically a contagious disease (see BDAG 443 s.v. 3; L&N 23.158).

¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

¹² tn Grk “until they had been completed.” The idea of a certain “number” of people is implied by the subject of πληρωθῶσιν (plhrwqwsin).

¹³ tn Though σύνδουλος (sundoulos) has been translated “fellow servant,” the word does not bear the connotation of a free individual serving another. See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

²¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

²² tn Grk “having.”

²³ sn A golden censer was a bowl in which incense was burned. The imagery suggests the OT role of the priest.

²⁴ 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.

²⁵ 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.

³¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.

³² tn Or “desert.”

³³ tn The word “God” is supplied based on the previous statements made concerning “the place prepared for the woman” in 12:6.

³⁴ tc The reading “and half a time” (καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ, kai {hmisu kairou) is lacking in the important uncial C. Its inclusion, however, is supported by {Ì⁴⁷ א A and the rest of the ms tradition}. There is apparently no reason for the scribe of C to intentionally omit the phrase, and the fact that the word “time” (καιρὸν καὶ καιρούς, kairon kai kairou") appears twice before may indicate a scribal oversight.
