Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations.

7:1-17 Three interludes occur in chs 6–14 (ch 7; 10:1–11:14; 12:1–14:20) to define the place of God’s holy people and to provide perspective on the previous scenes. In this first interlude before the seventh seal is broken, two visions communicate how God protects his people and assures them of his calling.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys
ἀπεκρίθη & λέγων μοι
answered & saying ˱to˲_me
This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word responded indicates that this elder was saying these things to John in response to what John was seeing in this vision. If it would be more natural in your language, you could express this meaning with an equivalent phrase that does not use “and.” Alternate translation: [asked me]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
οὗτοι, οἱ περιβεβλημένοι τὰς στολὰς τὰς λευκὰς, τίνες εἰσὶν καὶ πόθεν ἦλθον
these ¬which ˓having_been˒_clothed ˱in˲_the robes ¬the white who_all ˱they˲_are and from_where ˱they˲_came
This elder is using the question form to introduce something he wants to make sure John understands. Since John answers the question in the next verse, it would be appropriate to retain the question form in your translation, but if it would be helpful to your readers, you could word the question in a way that would show its purpose. Alternate translation: [Do you know who these people are who are wearing white robes and where they have come from]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
περιβεβλημένοι τὰς στολὰς τὰς λευκὰς
˓having_been˒_clothed ˱in˲_the robes ¬the white
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the ones wearing white robes]
