AUV(i)
3 And when the Lamb broke open the second seal, I heard the second living being saying [to the one on the red horse ?], “Come [out].”
4 Then another horse came out; it was a red one, and the man riding on it was given [the ability] to take peace from the earth so that people would kill one another. And he was given a large sword.
5 And when the Lamb broke open the third seal, I heard the third living being saying [to the one on the black horse ?], “Come [out].” So, I looked and before me [stood] a black horse, and the man riding on it had a pair of scales in his hand.
6 And I heard what sounded like a voice coming from among the four living beings, saying, “A quart [measure] of wheat sells for a day’s pay [Note: This amount would be $60-$84 in 1994, based on one day of a farm laborer’s wages. See Matt. 20:2]; three quart measures of barley sell for a day’s pay; but do not damage the [olive] oil and wine [i.e., the orchards and vineyards].
7 And when the Lamb broke open the fourth seal, I heard the fourth living being saying [to the one on the pale green horse ?], “Come [out].”
8 So, I looked and before me [stood] a pale green horse, and the name of the man riding on it was “Death,” and the unseen place of departed spirits followed along behind him. And they were [both] given authority over one fourth of the earth, to kill people with swords, with famine, with terrible judgments and by wild animals of the earth.
