Revelation 5:8

Context
5:8 and when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders threw themselves to the ground 1  before the Lamb. Each 2  of them had a harp and golden bowls full of incense (which are the prayers of the saints). 3 

1 tn Grk “fell 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 tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

3 sn This interpretive comment by the author forms a parenthesis in the narrative.
