Revelation 19:5

19:5 Then a voice came from the throne, saying:

“Praise our God

all you his servants,

and all you who fear Him,

both the small and the great!”

Revelation 19:18

19:18 to eat your fill of the flesh of kings,

the flesh of generals,

the flesh of powerful people,

the flesh of horses and those who ride them,

and the flesh of all people, both free and slave,

and small and great!”


tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence within the narrative.

tn The ἵνα (Jina) clause, insofar as it is related to the first imperative, has the force of an imperative.

tn The idea of eating “your fill” is evident in the context with the use of χορτάζω (cortazw) in v. 21.

tn Grk “chiliarchs”; normally a chiliarch was a military officer commanding a thousand soldiers, but here probably used of higher-ranking commanders like generals (see L&N 55.15; cf. Rev 6:15).

tn See the note on the word “servants” in 1:1.
