Wahyu 14:3

14:3 and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No ⁸  one was able to learn the song except the one hundred and forty-four thousand who had been redeemed from the earth.

11:13 Just then ⁹  a major earthquake took place and a tenth of the city collapsed; seven thousand people ¹⁰  were killed in the earthquake, and the rest were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

Wahyu 14:1

An Interlude: The Song of the 144,000

14:1 Then ¹¹  I looked, and here was ¹²  the Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with him were one hundred and forty-four thousand, who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.

[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.

[5:11]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[5:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “elders, and the number of them was.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[5:11]  ⁷ tn Or “myriads of myriads.” Although μυριάς (murias) literally means “10,000,” the point of the combination here may simply be to indicate an incalculably huge number. See L&N 60.9.

[14:3]  ⁸ tn Grk “elders, and no one.” This is a continuation of the previous sentence in the Greek text, but because of the length and complexity of the sentence a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[11:13]  ⁹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

[11:13]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “seven thousand names of men.”

[14:1]  ¹¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

[14:1]  ¹² tn The phrase “and here was” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).
