Revelation 4:4

4:4 In ¹  a circle around the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on those thrones were twenty-four elders. They were ²  dressed in white clothing and had golden crowns ³  on their heads.

Revelation 4:10

4:10 the twenty-four elders throw themselves to the ground ⁴  before the one who sits on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever, and they offer their crowns ⁵  before his ⁶  throne, saying:

Revelation 7:13

7:13 Then ⁷  one of the elders asked ⁸  me, “These dressed in long white robes – who are they and where have they come from?”

[4:4]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[4:4]  ² tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the words “They were” to indicate the connection to the preceding material.

[4:4]  ³ sn See the note on the word crown in Rev 3:11.

[4:10]  ⁴ tn Grk “the twenty-four elders fall down.” BDAG 815 s.v. πίπτω 1.b.α.ב. has “fall down, throw oneself to the ground as a sign of devotion or humility, before high-ranking persons or divine beings.”

[4:10]  ⁵ sn See the note on the word crown in Rev 3:11.

[4:10]  ⁶ tn The pronoun “his” is understood from the demonstrative force of the article τοῦ (tou) before θρόνου (qronou).

[7:13]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[7:13]  ⁸ tn Grk “spoke” or “declared to,” but in the context “asked” reads more naturally in English.
