3. “Don’t harm the land, the sea, or the trees until we have put the seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
4. I heard how many were sealed: 144,000. Those who were sealed were from every tribe of the people of Israel:
5. 12,000 from the tribe of Judah were sealed,12,000 from the tribe of Reuben,12,000 from the tribe of Gad,
6. 12,000 from the tribe of Asher,12,000 from the tribe of Naphtali,12,000 from the tribe of Manasseh,
