Revelation 6:12

Context

6:12 Then¹ I looked when the Lamb opened the sixth seal, and a huge² earthquake took place; the sun became as black as sackcloth made of hair,³ and the full moon became blood red;⁴

[6:12] ¹tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[6:12] ²tn Or “powerful”; Grk “a great.”

[6:12] ³tn Or “like hairy sackcloth” (L&N 8.13).

[6:12] ⁴tn Grk “like blood,” understanding αἷμα (aima) as a blood-red color rather than actual blood (L&N 8.64).
