Revelation 6
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals
ℵA ⟨seven seals⟩
, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts sayingℵ ⟨one of the four beasts saying, as it were the noise of thunder⟩
, Come and seeA omit
.2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer
ℵ ⟨he conquered⟩
.3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see
A omit
.4 And
ℵ ⟨And I beheld, and lo,⟩
there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace fromA ⟨the peace of⟩
the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see
A omit
. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.6 And I heard a voice
ℵA ⟨as it were a voice⟩
in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see
A omit
.8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death
A ⟨called the Immortal⟩
, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and withℵ ⟨famine and⟩
death, and withA ⟨over the fourth part of⟩
the beasts of the earth.9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them
ℵ ⟨men⟩
that were slain for the word of God, and forA ⟨for⟩
the testimony which they held:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost
ℵ ⟨wilt⟩
thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?11 And white robes were given unto every one of them
ℵA ⟨there was given unto each of them a white robe⟩
; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killedℵ ⟨killed by them⟩
as they were, should be fulfilled.12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo,
ℵ omit
there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moonℵA ⟨whole moon⟩
became as blood;13 And the stars of heaven
A ⟨God⟩
fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree castethℵ ⟨casting⟩
her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island
ℵ ⟨hill⟩
were moved out of theirℵ ⟨the⟩
places.15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and
A omit
the rich menℵA ⟨chief captains⟩
, and the chief captainsℵA ⟨rich men⟩
, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and everyA omit
free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his
ℵ ⟨their⟩
wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?About the Pointing
