[4:9]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[5:1]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[5:1]  ³ tn Grk “written on the inside and the outside” (an idiom for having writing on both sides).

[5:1]  ⁴ tn L&N 6.55 states, “From the immediate context of Re 5:1 it is not possible to determine whether the scroll in question had seven seals on the outside or whether the scroll was sealed at seven different points. However, since according to chapter six of Revelation the seals were broken one after another, it would appear as though the scroll had been sealed at seven different places as it had been rolled up.”

[7:10]  ³ tn The dative here has been translated as a dative of possession.

[11:16]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[11:16]  ⁵ tn Grk “they fell down on their faces.” 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.”

[14:16]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the angel’s directions.

[17:9]  ⁶ tn Grk “Here is the mind that has wisdom.”

[17:9]  ⁷ tn It is important to note that the height of “mountains” versus “hills” or other topographical terms is somewhat relative. In terms of Palestinian topography, Mount Tabor (traditionally regarded as the mount of transfiguration) is some 1,800 ft (550 m) above sea level, while the Mount of Olives is only some 100 ft (30 m) higher than Jerusalem.

[17:15]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[17:15]  ⁸ tn Grk “he”; the referent (the angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[17:15]  ⁹ tn Grk “and multitudes,” but καί (kai) has not been translated here and before the following term since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[19:4]  ⁸ tn Grk “creatures fell 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.”
