Exegesis
The source of this emergence is expressed by the prepositional phrase ek tes ges {ἐκ τῆς γῆς | ek tês gês} ‘out of the earth’, in contrast to beasts arising from the sea elsewhere, marking a shift in symbolic origin.
In context — Revelation 13:11
And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and it had two horns like a lamb, and it was speaking like a dragon .
