This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
A rod
See on Rev 2:27.
And the angel stood
Omit. The insertion of these words furnishes a subject for the agreement of the participle λέγων, which is irregular an construction. Literally the correct text reads, “there was given me a reed, saying.” Accordingly Wordsworth refers the speech to the reed as an inspired medium of speech. Rev., better, and one said.
The temple (τὸν ναὸν)
See on Mat 4:5.
The altar
Of incense, as that alone stood in the sacred place.
Them that worship
Note the peculiar expressed, measuring the worshippers with a reed.
