Apocalypse (Revelations) of John 7

1 After these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding [the] four winds of the earth, that they blew not on the earth, neither on the sea, neither on any tree.

2 And I saw another angel ascending or going up from the rising of the sun, that had a sign of the living God. And he cried with a great voice to the four angels, to which it was given to annoy the earth, and the sea,

3 and said, Do not ye annoy the earth, and the sea, neither [to] trees, till we mark the servants of our God in the foreheads of them.

4 And I heard the number of men that were marked, an hundred thousand and four and forty thousand marked, of every lineage of the sons of Israel;

5 of the lineage of Judah, twelve thousand marked; of the lineage of Reuben, twelve thousand marked; of the lineage of Gad, twelve thousand marked;

6 of the lineage of Aser, twelve thousand marked; of the lineage of Nephthalim, twelve thousand marked; of the lineage of Manasses, twelve thousand marked;

7 of the lineage of Simeon, twelve thousand marked; of the lineage of Levi, twelve thousand marked; of the lineage of Issachar, twelve thousand marked;

8 of the lineage of Zebulon, twelve thousand marked; of the lineage of Joseph, twelve thousand marked; of the lineage of Benjamin, twelve thousand marked.
