Wahyu 7:9

7:9 After these things I looked, and here was ¹  an enormous crowd that no one could count, made up of persons from every nation, tribe, ²  people, and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb dressed in long white robes, and with palm branches in their hands.

Wahyu 7:13-14

7:13 Then ³  one of the elders asked ⁴  me, “These dressed in long white robes – who are they and where have they come from?” 7:14 So ⁵  I said to him, “My lord, you know the answer.” ⁶  Then ⁷  he said to me, “These are the ones who have come out of the great tribulation. They ⁸  have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb!

[7:9]  ¹ tn The phrase “and here was” expresses the sense of καὶ ἰδού (kai idou).

[7:9]  ² tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated before each of the following categories, since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[7:13]  ³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[7:13]  ⁴ tn Grk “spoke” or “declared to,” but in the context “asked” reads more naturally in English.

[7:14]  ⁵ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the previous question.

[7:14]  ⁶ tn Though the expression “the answer” is not in the Greek text, it is clearly implied. Direct objects in Greek were frequently omitted when clear from the context.

[7:14]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the vision.

[7:14]  ⁸ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation. Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
