This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The first angel
Omit angel.
Hail and fire mingled with blood (χάλαζα καὶ πῦρ μεμιγμένα αἵματι)
Insert ἐν in before αἵματι blood. Instead of “with blood” as A.V., and Rev., we should render “in blood.” The hailstones and fire-balls fell in a shower of blood. Compare the account of the plague of fire and hail in Egypt (Exo 9:24) to which the reference is here, where the Septuagint reads and there was hail and the fire flaming in the hail. Compare Joe 2:30.
And the third part of the earth was burnt up
This is added by the best texts.
Green (χλωρὸς)
See on pale, Rev 6:8.
