And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him that liveth for ever and ever.
Said. So A 'Aleph ('), Vulgate, Syriac, read; but B, Coptic, read х legonta (G3004)], '(I heard) saying.'
Amen. So A; but B, 'the (accustomed) Amen.' As in Revelation 4:11, the 24 elders asserted God's worthiness to receive the glory, as having created all things, so here the four living creatures ratify by their "Amen" the whole creation's ascription of the glory to Him.
Four and twenty. Omitted in A B 'Aleph (').
Him that liveth forever and ever. Omitted in A B C 'Aleph ('); inserted from Revelation 4:9. There, where the thanksgiving is expressed, the words are appropriate; here less so, as their worship is silent prostration. "Worshipped" (God and the Lamb). So Revelation 11:1, "worship" absolutely.
