# Lamb

A "lamb" is a young sheep. Here is it used symbolically to refer to Christ. See how you translated this in [Revelation 5:6](../05/06.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/writing-symlanguage]])

# 144,000

"one hundred forty-four thousand." See how you translated this in [Revelation 7:4](../07/04.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-numbers]])

# who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "on whose foreheads the Lamb and his Father had written their names" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

# his Father

This is an important title for God that describes the relationship between God and Jesus. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/guidelines-sonofgodprinciples]])
