NET Notes

¹tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of the description of the horses and riders, which is somewhat parenthetical in the narrative.

²tn Grk “and those seated on them.”

³tn Grk “the vision”; the Greek article has been translated as a possessive pronoun (ExSyn 215).

⁴tn L&N 79.31 states, “‘fiery red’ (probably with a tinge of yellow or orange).”

⁵tn On this term BDAG 1022 s.v. ὑακίνθινος states, “hyacinth-colored, i.e. dark blue (dark red?) w. πύρινος Rv 9:17.”

⁶tn On this term BDAG 446 s.v. θειώδης states, “sulphurous Rv 9:17.”

⁷sn The colors of the riders’ breastplates parallel the three plagues of fire, smoke, and sulfur in v. 18.

⁸tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁹tn Traditionally, “brimstone.”
