This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Rev_19:5. ἀπὸ τοῦ θρόνου . “Out of the throne.” It does not follow that the voice is that of Christ who sits upon the throne.[4033] Beng. writes that it belongs to the four beasts; Züll. and De Wette, to one of them. It may be referred also to the elders, because of the form of the summons ( Τ . Θ . ἩΜῶΝ ).[4034]
Τῷ ΘΕῷ . The dat. with ΑἸΝΕῖΝ , which is regarded as though it were ΔΙΔΌΝΑΙ ΑῚΝΟΝ ,[4035] occurs also in the LXX.[4036] Comparison with the Hebrew text shows not only that the expression ΑἸΝΕῖΤΕ Τῷ ΘΕῷ says precisely the same as the ἉΛΛΗΛΟΥΪΆ retained in the Hebrew form,[4037] but also that the construction of αἰνεῖν with the dat. has occurred where the äÇìÌÅì was combined with ëÀ . In Jer_20:13, a clause so construed at any rate precedes.
πἀντες οἱ δοῦλοι αὐτοῦ . Cf. Psa_135:1.
οἱ φοβούμενοι , κ . τ . λ . Cf. Psa_115:13.
[4033] Against Ewald, Hengstenb.
[4034] Cf. also Rev_5:9.
[4035] Luk_18:43.
[4036] 1Ch_16:36; 1Ch_23:5; 2Ch_20:19; Jer_20:13.
[4037] Cf. Hesych., who very accurately explains ἀλληλ .: αἶνος τῷ ὅντι θεῷ , αἰνεῖτε τὸν κυριον [“Praise to him that is God, praise ye the Lord”].
