The name of the star was Bitterness. It made one–third of the water bitter, and many people died because the water was so bitter.

The Star's name was Wormwood. A third of the water turned bitter, and many people died from the poisoned water.

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” in keeping with the parenthetical nature of this remark.

² tn Grk “is called,” but this is somewhat redundant in contemporary English.

³ sn Wormwood refers to a particularly bitter herb with medicinal value. According to L&N 3.21, “The English term wormwood is derived from the use of the plant as a medicine to kill intestinal worms.” This remark about the star’s name is parenthetical in nature.

⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of the star falling on the waters.

⁵ tn That is, terribly bitter (see the note on “Wormwood” earlier in this verse).

⁶ tn Grk “and many of the men died from these waters because they were bitter.”
