Revelation 5
1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within
ℵ ⟨in front⟩
and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is
ℵA ⟨is⟩
worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth,
ℵ omit
was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.

ℵA ⟨the book⟩
out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps
ℵA ⟨each having a harp⟩
, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us

to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;10 And hast made us
