Revelation 19:18

Context

19:18 to eat 1  your fill 2  of the flesh of kings,

the flesh of generals, 3 

the flesh of powerful people,

the flesh of horses and those who ride them,

and the flesh of all people, both free and slave, 4 

and small and great!”

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

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

3 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).

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