Leviticus 23:40

23:40 On the first day you must take for yourselves branches from majestic trees ¹  – palm branches, branches of leafy trees, and willows of the brook – and you must rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.

Revelation 7:9

7:9 After these things I looked, and here was ²  an enormous crowd that no one could count, made up of persons from every nation, tribe, ³  people, and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb dressed in long white robes, and with palm branches in their hands.

[23:40]  ¹ tn Heb “fruit of majestic trees,” but the following terms and verses define what is meant by this expression. For extensive remarks on the celebration of this festival in history and tradition see B. A. Levine, Leviticus (JPSTC), 163; J. E. Hartley, Leviticus (WBC), 389-90; and P. J. Budd, Leviticus (NCBC), 328-29.

[7:9]  ² tn The phrase “and here was” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).

[7:9]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated before each of the following categories, since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
