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 for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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.

9:16 The relationship of the four angels to their army is not clear.
• 200 million: This figure represents an innumerable multitude. Even at its greatest strength, the ancient Roman army with twenty-one legions numbered only about 126,000 soldiers. It is unproductive to use this number in attempting to identify any specific country with such an overwhelming destructive force.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
ὁ ἀριθμὸς τῶν στρατευμάτων τοῦ ἱππικοῦ δύο μυριάδες μυριάδων; ἤκουσα τὸν ἀριθμὸν αὐτῶν.
the number ˱of˲_the armies ˱of˲_the horsemen_‹were› two ten_thousand ˱of˲_ten_thousand ˱I˲_heard the number ˱of˲_them
John typically says I heard or “I saw” before describing what he heard or saw, so it might be more natural to put that information first. Alternate translation: [I heard the number of the horse soldiers; it was two myriads of myriads]
Note 2 topic: translate-numbers
δύο μυριάδες μυριάδων
two ten_thousand ˱of˲_ten_thousand
A myriad is a hundred hundreds, or ten thousand. Express this number in the way that would be most natural in your language. See how you translated a similar large number in 5:11. Alternate translation: [200,000,000]
