for a day's pay

The Greek in Revelation 6:6 that is translated as «for a day’s pay» or similar in English is translated in Elhomwe as «(a bit of food will be bought with) much money.» «‘Senarii’ or ‘a day’s wage’ does not reflect the idea of a large sum of money for a small amount of food; so made explicit.» (Source: project-specific translation notes in Paratext)
