REV 5:7 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:6–14: Many people praised the Lamb

In this section, John described the one who was worthy to open the seals. He was like a lamb that had been killed. John also described those who worshiped the lamb. Then he wrote what they said.

Other examples of headings for this section are:

Every being/person praised the Lamb

Worship of the Lamb that was slain

The Lamb is praised/worshiped

5:7

And He came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One seated on the throne.

He came to him who sat on the throne and took the scroll from his right hand.
He went to the person/one sitting on the place/seat of ruling. The Lamb took from him the scroll that was in his right hand.

He: This pronoun refers to the Lamb. But the title “Lamb” refers to Jesus. Use the correct pronoun here.

came and took the scroll from the right hand of the One seated on the throne: The Lamb moved toward the throne rather than toward John. In some languages it is more natural to use the verb “went” instead of came.

In some languages it would be helpful to indicate where he went. For example:

He went to the one who sat on the throne and took the scroll from his right hand

the One seated on the throne: See how you translated this phrase in 5:1.
