Etheridge(i)
1 AND I saw that a beast of prey* ascended from the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and upon his horns seven diadems; and upon his heads names of blasphemy.[* Literally, (chaivith sheno,) a beast of the tooth, i. e., a carnivorous animal. The same expression occurs throughout.]
2 And the beast of prey which I saw was like a leopard, and his feet were as (those) of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion, and the dragon gave to him his power, and his throne, and great authority.
3 And one of his heads was wounded as to death. And his stroke of death was healed; and all the earth wondered after the beast of prey.
4 And they worshipped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast of prey, [saying, Who is like the beast of prey, Polyglots.] and who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given him a mouth speaking great sayings and blasphemies, and authority was given him to act, MONTHS, FORTY AND TWO.
6 And he opened his mouth to blaspheme against Aloha, blaspheming his name, and his tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.
7 And there was given to him authority over every tribe, and people, and tongue, and nation; and there was given to him to make war with the saints, to overcome them.
