Exegesis
The participle echon {ἔχον | é-khon} “having” introduces a descriptive participial phrase, echon kerata deka kai kephalas hepta {ἔχον κέρατα δέκα καὶ κεφαλὰς ἑπτά | é-khon ké-ra-ta dé-ka kai ke-pha-lás hep-tá}, listing horns and heads with the characteristic Greek order of noun followed by numeral, which the formal rendering preserves for emphasis.
The repeated kai {καὶ | kaí} “and” structures the verse as a chain of coordinated descriptive elements, a common stylistic feature in apocalyptic narrative that builds accumulation and intensity.
In context — Revelation 13:1
And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and upon its horns were ten diadems, and upon its heads were names of blasphemy .
