Revelation 8:7

The first angel. Omit angel.

Hail and fire mingled with blood [χ α λ α ζ α κ α ι π υ ρ μ ε μ ι γ μ ε ν α α ι μ α τ ι]. Insert ejn in before aimati 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 (Exodus 9:24) to which the reference is here, where the Septuagint reads and there was hail and the fire flaming in the hail. Compare Joel 2:30.

And the third part of the earth was burnt up. This is added by the best texts.

Green [χ λ ω ρ ο ς]. See on pale, chapter Revelation 6:8.
