1 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style. 2 tn Grk “having.” 3 sn A golden censer was a bowl in which incense was burned. The imagery suggests the OT role of the priest. 4 tn The verb “to station” was used to translate ἑστάθη (Jestaqh) because it connotes the idea of purposeful arrangement in English, which seems to be the idea in the Greek. 5 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. |
