Revelation 21:20

21:20 the fifth onyx, ⁶  the sixth carnelian, ⁷  the seventh chrysolite, ⁸  the eighth beryl, ⁹  the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, ¹⁰  the eleventh jacinth, ¹¹  and the twelfth amethyst.

[16:12]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[16:12]  ² tn Grk “the sixth”; the referent (the sixth angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:12]  ³ tn Grk “and its water was dried up.” Here the passive construction has been translated as an active one.

[16:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “in order that the way might be prepared.” Here the passive construction has been translated as an active one.

[16:12]  ⁵ tn Grk “from the rising of the sun.” BDAG 74 s.v. ἀνατολή 2.a takes this as a geographical direction: “ἀπὸ ἀ. ἡλίου…from the east Rv 7:2; 16:12; simply ἀπὸ ἀ. …21:13.”
