Revelation 22:2-3

22:2 flowing down the middle of the city’s ¹  main street. ²  On each side ³  of the river is the tree of life producing twelve kinds ⁴  of fruit, yielding its fruit every month of the year. ⁵  Its leaves are for the healing of the nations. 22:3 And there will no longer be any curse, ⁶  and the throne of God and the Lamb will be in the city. ⁷  His ⁸  servants ⁹  will worship ¹⁰  him,

[22:2]  ¹ tn Grk “its”; the referent (the city, the new Jerusalem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:2]  ² tn The Greek word πλατεῖα (plateia) refers to a major (broad) street (L&N 1.103).

[22:2]  ³ tn Grk “From here and from there.”

[22:2]  ⁴ tn Or “twelve crops” (one for each month of the year).

[22:2]  ⁵ tn The words “of the year” are implied.

[22:3]  ⁶ tn Or “be anything accursed” (L&N 33.474).

[22:3]  ⁷ tn Grk “in it”; the referent (the city, the new Jerusalem) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[22:3]  ⁸ tn Grk “city, and his.” Although this is a continuation of the previous sentence in Greek, a new sentence was started here in the translation because of the introduction of the Lamb’s followers.

[22:3]  ⁹ tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.

[22:3]  ¹⁰ tn Or “will serve.”
