In biblical literature, a loud voice often indicates divine revelation or significant announcements (e.g., <a href="/revelation/1-10.htm">Revelation 1:10, 7</a>:10). The collective voice suggests unity and agreement among the heavenly beings, emphasizing the universal acknowledgment of the Lamb's worthiness.Worthy is the Lamb who was slain: The "Lamb" is a title for Jesus Christ, symbolizing His role as the sacrificial offering for humanity's sins (<a href="/john/1-29.htm">John 1:29</a>). The imagery of the Lamb is rooted in the Passover lamb of <a href="/exodus/12.htm">Exodus 12</a>, which was a type of Christ. The phrase "who was slain" refers to Jesus' crucifixion, highlighting the centrality of His sacrificial death in Christian theology. This echoes <a href="/isaiah/53-7.htm">Isaiah 53:7</a>, where the suffering servant is likened to a lamb led to slaughter.to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing: This sevenfold ascription of praise reflects the completeness and perfection of the Lamb's attributes. Each term represents a facet of Christ's divine authority and character: Power: Signifies Christ's sovereign authority over all creation (<a href="/matthew/28-18.htm">Matthew 28:18</a>). Riches: Denotes spiritual wealth and the abundance of God's grace (<a href="/ephesians/1-7.htm">Ephesians 1:7</a>). Wisdom: Reflects Christ's divine insight and understanding (<a href="/colossians/2-3.htm">Colossians 2:3</a>). Strength: Indicates His might and ability to accomplish God's purposes (<a href="/philippians/4-13.htm">Philippians 4:13</a>). Honor: Represents the respect and reverence due to Him (<a href="/john/5-23.htm">John 5:23</a>). Glory: Refers to His divine majesty and the manifestation of God's presence (<a href="/hebrews/1-3.htm">Hebrews 1:3</a>).

We have noticed (<a href="/revelation/1-6.htm" title="And has made us kings and priests to God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.">Revelation 1:6</a>) the increasing strength of the doxologies in which the redeemed take part. This, though a sevenfold one, does not interrupt that advance of praise; for in this chorus the redeemed do not take part. The definite article is prefixed to the word "power" only; in the doxologies of <a href="/revelation/4-11.htm" title="You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created.">Revelation 4:11</a>; <a href="/revelation/7-12.htm" title="Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honor, and power, and might, be to our God for ever and ever. Amen.">Revelation 7:12</a> it stands before each word. This has led some to view the single article as prefixed to all that follows, and to regard all the words as though they formed one word. May it not, however, be used to give emphasis to the "power"? None, above or below, was "able" (same word as "power" here) to open the book (<a href="/revelation/5-3.htm" title="And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.">Revelation 5:3</a>); but the Lamb has conquered to open it, and the chorus proclaims the Lamb worthy of that power. Some have thought that the seven terms of the doxology refer to the seven seals which the Lamb is about to open. This seems strained. The notion of completeness is common to this seven-fold blessing and the seven seals; this is the only connection between them. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/revelation/5.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 12. - Saying with a loud voice; a great voice (Revised Version); λέγοντες, "saying," is irregular construction, and to be referred to angels as being a nominative understood. Worthy is the Lamb that was slain; that hath been slain (Revised Version). Again, as in ver. 9, the worshippers give the reason for considering Christ worthy to receive their adoration. It is because he had been slain and thus redeemed the world. To receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. The sevenfold nature of the adoration attributed to the Lamb is probably indicative of its complete and perfect nature. (On the meaning of λαβεῖν, "to receive," to take as a right what is offered, see Thayer-Grimm.) Power (δύναμις) is the ability to perform which is inherent in one's nature. Strength (ἰσχύς) is the attribute by which that power is put into operation; it frequently denotes physical strength. Riches (cf. <a href="/john/1-16.htm">John 1:16</a>, "And of his fulness have all we received;" also <a href="/ephesians/3-8.htm">Ephesians 3:8</a>, "The unsearchable riches of Christ;" also <a href="/james/1-17.htm">James 1:17</a>, "Every good gift and every perfect gilt is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights;" also <a href="/acts/17-25.htm">Acts 17:25</a>, "He giveth to all life, and breath, and all things "). The whole sevenfold ascription is spoken as one, only one article being prefixed. In this respect it differs from <a href="/revelation/4-11.htm">Revelation 4:11</a> and <a href="/revelation/7-12.htm">Revelation 7:12</a>, where we have "the glory" and "the honour," etc. (see on Revelation 4:11). <a href="/commentaries/revelation/5-12.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>In a loud voice φωνῇ (phōnē) Noun - Dative Feminine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_5456.htm">Strong's 5456: </a> Probably akin to phaino through the idea of disclosure; a tone; by implication, an address, saying or language. they said: λέγοντες (legontes) Verb - Present Participle Active - Nominative Masculine Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_3004.htm">Strong's 3004: </a> (a) I say, speak; I mean, mention, tell, (b) I call, name, especially in the pass., (c) I tell, command. “Worthy Ἄξιόν (Axion) Adjective - Nominative Neuter Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_514.htm">Strong's 514: </a> Worthy, worthy of, deserving, comparable, suitable.
