WK Translation Notes

+
a
"Over" in the RV is more correct than "on."
b
There is no need to add "about" after "compass," or surround.
c
The order of the words "out of the heaven from God" in the T. R. differs from that which is approved.
d
"From God" is questionable, and probably imported from elsewhere, though many authorities insert the words as in the T. R.
