Revelation 5:13-14
Context5:13 Then 1 I heard every creature – in heaven, on earth, under the earth, in the sea, and all that is in them – singing: 2
“To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise, honor, glory, and ruling power 3 forever and ever!”
5:14 And the four living creatures were saying “Amen,” and the elders threw themselves to the ground 4 and worshiped.
[5:13] 1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.
[5:14] 4 tn Grk “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.”
