For example, in the first part of RV REV 18:7 · LV REV 18:7 · Read together REV 18:7 one may translate in some languages ‘she honored herself very much and lived in great luxury, and so give her very much suffering and grief.’ In the case of RV HEB 1:4 · LV HEB 1:4 · Read together HEB 1:4, one may translate ‘God gave his Son a name that was more important than the name of the angels; therefore, God’s Son is greater than the angels.’
