Revelation 7
1 And
A omit
after these thingsℵA ⟨this⟩
I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earthA omit
, nor on the sea, nor on anyA ⟨any⟩
tree.2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither
A omit
the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.4 And I heard the number of them which were sealed:

9 After this I beheld, and, lo,
A ⟨saw⟩
a great multitude, which no man could numberA ⟨and no man could number it⟩
, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood beforeA ⟨at⟩
the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;10 And cried
ℵA ⟨they cry⟩
with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our GodA ⟨The salvation of our God unto him⟩
which sittethℵ omit
upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom,
A omit
and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir
ℵ ⟨My Lord⟩
, thou knowest. And he said to meℵ omit
, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among
ℵ ⟨knoweth⟩
them.16 They shall hunger no more
ℵ ⟨not hunger⟩
, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters
ℵA ⟨fountains of waters of life⟩
: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.About the Pointing
