The word "the" is not there:
https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/rev/7/14/s_1174014
"And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out
of great tribulation, (ek megas thlipsi) and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."
BLB has a habit of
not showing the definite article ('the') as a distinct word in the text,
wherever [ANYWHERE] that there IS one.
Take, for example, the very next verse...
verse 15... where
"THE throne" (2x) is spoken of (as well as "
THE temple of Him")...
...One can see
in the kjv that
"THE" is used with the word
"throne" (2x in v.15)... HOWEVER,
BLB DOES NOT REFLECT THIS FACT (see links below). They
consistently LEAVE OUT showing the word
"the" in MOST (IF NOT ALL) OF what they provide at that source... and I can only guess it's due to the fact that there are
SO MANY "the" words used in Scripture that it becomes cumbersome (from their perspective)...
--
https://biblehub.com/interlinear/revelation/7-15.htm [BibleHub] "
THE throne"
(2x in v.15)... which DOES show up in the English translation
kjv...
but which "the" DOES NOT SHOW UP as a distinct word AT BLB... (this is their habit)...
--
BLB does NOT show
"the" as a distinct word
in ANY verse which indeed has this word (I'm pretty sure they show NONE of them that ARE INDEED IN THE VERSE) -
Verse 15, for example: "
THE throne"
(2x) DOES NOT SHOW the
"THE" (as a distinct / separate word)
at BlueLetterBible -
https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/rev/7/15/ss1/s_1174015 though
"the" IS INDEED in this text (and the
kjv reflects this fact... in this verse).
IOW,
BLB is not a good source for determining where the distinct word
"the [G3588]" is used in Scripture, because THEIR source does not get
that detailed...
(at least it doesn't on the surface/front/main page showing the verse... one has to go into the
"TOOLS" page, clicking on a certain linked page
THERE, in order to see it... like this where the Greek word
"THE" shows up as the distinct / separate word THAT IT IS, unlike at the main page which ignores this [
if it shows up here, not sure it will... links can be funny sometimes]:
https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/rev/7/15/ss1/t_concif_1174014 )
Bottom line:
BLB rarely IF EVER shows the word
"the [G3588]" as a distinct word even in the texts where "the" IS INDEED present in the text... at least not on its main / surface / front page. So BE AWARE of this fact about
BLB.
