Wahyu 11:2-3

11:2 But ¹  do not measure the outer courtyard ²  of the temple; leave it out, ³  because it has been given to the Gentiles, ⁴  and they will trample on the holy city ⁵  for forty-two months. 11:3 And I will grant my two witnesses authority ⁶  to prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth.

Wahyu 12:6

12:6 and she ⁷  fled into the wilderness ⁸  where a place had been prepared for her ⁹  by God, so she could be taken care of ¹⁰  for 1,260 days.

Wahyu 12:14

12:14 But ¹¹  the woman was given the two wings of a giant eagle so that she could fly out into the wilderness, ¹²  to the place God ¹³  prepared for her, where she is taken care of – away from the presence of the serpent – for a time, times, and half a time. ¹⁴ 

[11:2]  ¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.

[11:2]  ² tn On the term αὐλήν (aulhn) BDAG 150 s.v. αὐλή 1 states, “(outer) court of the temple…Rv 11:2.”

[11:2]  ³ tn The precise meaning of the phrase ἔκβαλε ἔξωθεν (ekbale exwqen) is difficult to determine.

[11:2]  ⁴ tn Or “to the nations” (the same Greek word may be translated “Gentiles” or “nations”).

[11:2]  ⁵ sn The holy city appears to be a reference to Jerusalem. See also Luke 21:24.

[11:3]  ⁶ tn The word “authority” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. “Power” would be another alternative that could be supplied here.

[12:6]  ⁷ tn Grk “and the woman,” which would be somewhat redundant in English.

[12:6]  ⁸ tn Or “desert.”

[12:6]  ⁹ tn Grk “where she has there a place prepared by God.”

[12:6]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “so they can take care of her.”

[12:14]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present here.

[12:14]  ¹² tn Or “desert.”

[12:14]  ¹³ tn The word “God” is supplied based on the previous statements made concerning “the place prepared for the woman” in 12:6.

[12:14]  ¹⁴ tc The reading “and half a time” (καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ, kai {hmisu kairou) is lacking in the important uncial C. Its inclusion, however, is supported by {Ì⁴⁷ א A and the rest of the ms tradition}. There is apparently no reason for the scribe of C to intentionally omit the phrase, and the fact that the word “time” (καιρὸν καὶ καιρούς, kairon kai kairou") appears twice before may indicate a scribal oversight.

[12:14]  sn The parallel statement in Rev 12:6 suggests that the phrase a time, times, and half a time equals 1,260 days (three and a half years of 360 days each).
