Revelation 6:9

Context

6:9 Now 1  when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been violently killed 2  because of the word of God and because of the testimony they had given.

Revelation 7:2

Context
7:2 Then 3  I saw another angel ascending from the east, 4  who had 5  the seal 6  of the living God. He 7  shouted out with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given permission 8  to damage the earth and the sea: 9 

1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the introduction of a new and somewhat different topic after the introduction of the four riders.

2 tn Or “murdered.” See the note on the word “butcher” in 6:4.

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

4 tn Grk “from the rising of the sun.” BDAG 74 s.v. ἀνατολή 2.a takes this as a geographical direction: “ἀπὸ ἀ. ἡλίουfrom the east Rv 7:2; 16:12…simply ἀπὸ ἀ. …21:13.”

5 tn Grk “having,” but v. 3 makes it clear that the angel’s purpose is to seal others with the seal he carries.

6 tn Or “signet” (L&N 6.54).

7 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.

8 tn The word “permission” is implied; Grk “to whom it was given to them to damage the earth.”

9 tn Grk “saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.
