Revelation 6:12

6:12 Then ¹  I looked when the Lamb opened the sixth seal, and a huge ²  earthquake took place; the sun became as black as sackcloth made of hair, ³  and the full moon became blood red; ⁴ 

Revelation 16:12

16:12 Then ⁵  the sixth angel ⁶  poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates and dried up its water ⁷  to prepare the way ⁸  for the kings from the east. ⁹ 

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

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

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

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

[16:12]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[16:12]  ⁶ tn Grk “the sixth”; the referent (the sixth angel) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[16:12]  ⁷ tn Grk “and its water was dried up.” Here the passive construction has been translated as an active one.

[16:12]  ⁸ tn Grk “in order that the way might be prepared.” Here the passive construction has been translated as an active one.

[16:12]  ⁹ tn Grk “from the rising of the sun.” BDAG 74 s.v. ἀνατολή 2.a takes this as a geographical direction: “ἀπὸ ἀ. ἡλίου…from the east Rv 7:2; 16:12; simply ἀπὸ ἀ. …21:13.”
