Revelation 7:17


Footnote:

11

The phrase "τὸ ἀνὰ μέσον τοῦ θρόνου" can be translated as "the in-between of the throne" or "the intermediate space of the throne." The term τὸ ἀνὰ μέσον refers to the concept of "in-between" or "intermediate space," (ἀνὰ means up/upward) as opposed to the simpler τὸ μέσον, which denotes "the middle" or "center."

In this context, τὸ ἀνὰ μέσον suggests an area or position related to or associated with the throne, either literally, such as the space around or in front of it, or metaphorically, indicating a central or significant position. The genitive τοῦ θρόνου specifies the association with "the throne."
