3. THE SECOND VIAL

3. ὁ δεύτερος, without ἄγγελος, as in 4, 8, 10, 12, 17. This is a contrast to the vision of the Trumpets.

αἷμα ὡς νεκροῦ. Lit., “blood as it were of a dead man,” and so more foul and horrible. See Exodus 7:17 sqq., esp. 21. Compare in this Book ch. Revelation 8:8; but here the plague has a wider reach.

πᾶσα ψυχὴ ζωῆς. Cf. ὅ ἔχει ψυχὴν ζωῆς Genesis 1:30.
