Revelation 7:7-17

NSB(i) 7 Of the tribe of Simeon were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Levi were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Issachar were sealed twelve thousand. 8 Of the tribe of Zebulun were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Joseph were sealed twelve thousand. Of the tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand. 9 After this I saw a great crowd that no man could number. It was from all nations, and tribes, and people, and tongues. It stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes. They had palm branches in their hands. 10 They cried with a loud voice, saying: »Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.« 11 All the angels stood around the throne, and the elders and the four living creatures. They fell before the throne on their faces, and worshiped God. 12 They said: »Amen! Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be to our God forever and ever. Amen.« 13 One of the elders asked me: »Who are these dressed in white robes? And where are they from?« 14 I said to him: »Sir, you know.« He said to me: »These are the ones who came out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 »Because of this they are before the throne of God. They serve him day and night in his temple. He who sits on the throne will spread his tent over (dwell among) them. 16 »They will hunger no more, nor thirst any more; neither shall the sunlight beat down on them, nor any heat. 17 »The Lamb who is in the middle of the throne will feed them and lead them to living fountains of water. God will wipe away all tears from their eyes.«
