Exegesis
The infinitive dounai {δοῦναι | doûnai} ‘to give’ governs the object pneuma {πνεῦμα | pneû-ma} ‘breath’ and the dative phrase tē eikoni tou thēriou {τῇ εἰκόνι τοῦ θηρίου | tē̂ eikóni tou thē-rí-ou} ‘to the image of the beast’, describing the animation of the cult image.
The first hina {ἵνα | hína} ‘so that’ introduces a purpose clause with lalēsē {λαλήσῃ | lalḗsē} ‘may speak’, followed by the delayed subject hē eikōn tou thēriou {ἡ εἰκών τοῦ θηρίου | hē eikṓn tou thē-rí-ou}, emphasizing that the image itself is granted speech.
In context — Revelation 13:15
And it was given to it to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak, and it might cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed .","
