## translationNotes

* **to testify to you** - Here "you" is plural.
* **root and descendant of David** - The words "root" and "descendant" mean basically the same thing. They emphasize that Jesus belongs to the family of David. (See: [[:en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_explicit]] and [[:en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_doublet]]).
* **the bright Morning Star** - This refers to the bright star that appears early in the morning and indicates that daylight is coming soon. This also represents Jesus as the Messiah. (See: [[:en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_metaphor]])
