Wahyu 11:13

11:13 Just then ⁴  a major earthquake took place and a tenth of the city collapsed; seven thousand people ⁵  were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

[6:14]  ¹ tn Or “The heavens were.” The Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) can mean either “heaven” or “sky.”

[6:14]  ² tn BDAG 125 s.v. ἀποχωρίζω states, “ὁ οὐρανὸς ἀπεχωρίσθη the sky was split Rv 6:14.” Although L&N 79.120 gives the meaning “the sky disappeared like a rolled-up scroll” here, a scroll that is rolled up does not “disappear,” and such a translation could be difficult for modern readers to understand.

[6:14]  ³ tn On this term BDAG 317 s.v. ἑλίσσω states, “ὡς βιβλίον ἑλισσόμενον like a scroll that is rolled up…Rv 6:14.”

[11:13]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[11:13]  ⁵ tn Grk “seven thousand names of men.”
