Exegesis
A new aorist verb, ebrexen {ἔβρεξεν | É-brex-en} “rained,” is then introduced without an explicit subject, relying on an understood divine or impersonal subject implied by the context, and it governs the coordinated direct objects pyr {πῦρ | pŷr} “fire” and theion {θεῖον | THEI-on} “sulfur,” joined by kai {καὶ | kaí} for cumulative force.
