Exegesis
This is coordinated by kai {καὶ | kaí} with a second clause hē selēnē ou dōsei to phengos autēs {ἡ σελήνη οὐ δώσει τὸ φέγγος αὐτῆς | hḗ se-lḗ-nē ou dṓ-sei tò phén-gos au-tḗs} ‘the moon will not give its light’, where the future active dōsei takes the direct object to phengos, and autēs in the genitive expresses possession ‘its light’. The pairing of sun and moon with parallel negation (skotisthēsetai / ou dōsei) creates a balanced, poetic structure typical of prophetic-apocalyptic language. In English, the two fronted temporal phrases are preserved to maintain the mounting sense of sequence (“in those days, after that tribulation”), the passive-then-active verbal contrast is retained (“will be darkened” / “will not give”), and the cosmic imagery is rendered in clear, natural clauses while keeping the coordination between the two luminaries.
