6:3 Then ¹  when the Lamb ²  opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, “Come!” 6:4 And another horse, fiery red, ³  came out, and the one who rode it ⁴  was granted permission ⁵  to take peace from the earth, so that people would butcher ⁶  one another, and he was given a huge sword.

6:5 Then ⁷  when the Lamb opened the third seal I heard the third living creature saying, “Come!” So ⁸  I looked, ⁹  and here came ¹⁰  a black horse! The ¹¹  one who rode it ¹²  had a balance scale ¹³  in his hand. 6:6 Then ¹⁴  I heard something like a voice from among the four living creatures saying, “A quart ¹⁵  of wheat will cost a day’s pay ¹⁶  and three quarts of barley will cost a day’s pay. But ¹⁷  do not damage the olive oil and the wine!”

6:7 Then ¹⁸  when the Lamb opened the fourth seal I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, “Come!” 6:8 So ¹⁹  I looked ²⁰  and here came ²¹  a pale green ²²  horse! The ²³  name of the one who rode it ²⁴  was Death, and Hades followed right behind. ²⁵  They ²⁶  were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill its population with the sword, ²⁷  famine, and disease, ²⁸  and by the wild animals of the earth.

6:9 Now ²⁹  when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been violently killed ³⁰  because of the word of God and because of the testimony they had given. 6:10 They ³¹  cried out with a loud voice, ³²  “How long, ³³  Sovereign Master, ³⁴  holy and true, before you judge those who live on the earth and avenge our blood?” 6:11 Each ³⁵  of them was given a long white robe and they were told to rest for a little longer, until the full number was reached ³⁶  of both their fellow servants ³⁷  and their brothers who were going to be killed just as they had been.

9:18 The sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. (Now Ham was the father of Canaan.) ⁵
