Revelation 11:9
_ _ they — rather, “(some) of the peoples.”
_ _ people — Greek, “peoples.”
_ _ kindreds — Greek, “tribes”; all save the elect (whence it is not said, The peoples ... but [some] of the peoples ... , or, some of the peoples ... may refer to those of the nations ..., who at the time shall hold possession of Palestine and Jerusalem).
_ _ shall see — So Vulgate, Syriac, and Coptic. But A, B, C, and Andreas, the present, “see,” or rather (Greek, “blepousin”), “look upon.” The prophetic present.
_ _ dead bodies — So Vulgate, Syriac, and Andreas. But A, B, C, and Coptic, singular, as in Revelation 11:8, “dead body.” Three and a half days answer to the three and a half years (see on Revelation 11:2, Revelation 11:3), the half of seven, the full and perfect number.
_ _ shall not suffer — so B, Syriac, Coptic, and Andreas. But A, C, and Vulgate read, “do not suffer.”
_ _ in graves — so Vulgate and Primasius. But B, C, Syriac, Coptic, and Andreas, singular; translate, “into a sepulchre,” literally, “a monument.” Accordingly, in righteous retribution in kind, the flesh of the Antichristian hosts is not buried, but given to all the fowls in mid-heaven to eat (Revelation 19:17, Revelation 19:18, Revelation 19:21). |

If we suppose this time began in the evening, and ended in the morning, and included (which is no way impossible) Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the weekly festival of the Turkish people, the Jewish tribes, and the Christian tongues; then all these together, with the heathen nations, would have full leisure to gaze upon and rejoice over them. |
Revelation 11:9
And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies (15) three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
