# the Lamb
This is a young male sheep. Here is it used symbolically to refer to Christ. See how you translated this in [Revelation 5:6](./06.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-symlanguage]])
# twenty-four elders
"24 elders." See how you translated this in [Revelation 4:4](../04/04.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]])
# fell down
"lay down on the ground." Their faces were toward the ground to show that they were worshiping the Lamb. They did this on purpose; they did not fall accidentally.
# Each of them
Possible meanings are 1) "each of the elders and living creatures" or 2) "each of the elders."
# a golden bowl full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints
The incense here is a symbol for the believers' prayers to God. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-symlanguage]])
