NET Notes

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

2 sn See Rev 4:6 where the sea of glass was mentioned previously.

3 tn Or “had been victorious over”; traditionally, “had overcome.”

4 tn Grk “of his name, standing.” A new sentence was started here in the translation by supplying the words “They were.”

5 tn Or “on.” The preposition ἐπί (epi) with the accusative case could mean “on, at, by, near”; given the nature of this scene appearing in a vision, it is difficult to know precisely which the author of Revelation intended. See BDAG 363 s.v. ἐπί 1.c.γ, “At, by, near someone or someth.”

6 tn Grk “harps of God.” The phrase τοῦ θεοῦ (tou qeou) has been translated as a genitive of agency.
