NET © Notes |
1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the permission granted to the beast. 2 tn Grk “he” (or “it”); the referent (the beast) has been specified in the translation for clarity. 3 tc The reading “and his dwelling place” does not occur in codex C, but its omission is probably due to scribal oversight since the phrase has the same ending as the phrase before it, i.e., they both end in “his” (αὐτοῦ, autou). This is similar to the mistake this scribe made in 12:14 with the omission of the reading “and half a time” (καὶ ἥμισυ καιροῦ, kai {hmisu kairou). |
