Revelation 4:10

Context
4:10 the twenty-four elders throw themselves to the ground 1  before the one who sits on the throne and worship the one who lives forever and ever, and they offer their crowns 2  before his 3  throne, saying:

1 tn Grk “the twenty-four elders fall down.” BDAG 815 s.v. πίπτω 1.b.α.ב. has “fall down, throw oneself to the ground as a sign of devotion or humility, before high-ranking persons or divine beings.”

2 sn See the note on the word crown in Rev 3:11.

3 tn The pronoun “his” is understood from the demonstrative force of the article τοῦ (tou) before θρόνου (qronou).
