And another horse, fiery red, 1  came out, and the one who rode it 2  was granted permission 3  to take peace from the earth, so that people would butcher 4  one another, and he was given a huge sword.

NET Notes

1 tn L&N 79.31 states, “‘fiery red’ (probably with a tinge of yellow or orange).”

2 tn Grk “the one sitting on it.”

3 tn The word “permission” is implied; Grk “it was given to him to take peace from the earth.”

4 tn BDAG 979 s.v. σφάζω states, “Of the killing of a person by violence…σφάζειν τινά butcher or murder someone (4 Km 10:7; Jer 52:10; Manetho: 609 fgm. 8, 76 Jac. [in Jos., C. Ap. 1, 76]; Demetr.[?]: 722 fgm. 7; Ar. 10, 9) 1J 3:12; Rv 6:4. Pass. (Hdt. 5, 5) 5:9; 6:9; 18:24.”
