[7:4] 1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of new but related material.
[7:4] 2 tn Grk “who were sealed.”
[7:4] 3 tn Normally, “every,” but since 144,000 is the total number, “all” is clearer here.
[7:4] 4 tn Grk “the sons of Israel,” normally an idiom for the Israelites as an ethnic entity (L&N 11.58). However, many scholars understand the expression in this context to refer to Christians rather than ethnic Israelites.
[21:17] 5 tn Here the measurement was kept in cubits in the translation because of the possible symbolic significance of the number 144 (12 times 12). This is about 216 ft (65 m).
[21:17] 6 tn Here L&N 81.1 translate the phrase μέτρον ἀνθρώπου, ὅ ἐστιν ἀγγέλου (metron anqrwpou, {o estin angelou) “‘the unit of measurement used by a person, that is, by an angel’ Re 21:17.” It is more likely that μέτρον is an accusative of respect or reference.
