Exegesis
The nominative phrase hē sophia {ἡ σοφία | hē so-phí-a} ‘the wisdom’ and the copula estin {ἐστίν | es-tín} ‘is’ form a declarative formula revealing the skill required to decode the vision.
The causal conjunction gar introduces arithmós gar anthrṓpou estin {ἀριθμὸς γὰρ ἀνθρώπου ἐστίν | a-rith-mós gar an-thrṓ-pou es-tín} ‘for it is the number of a man’, explaining why the calculation is possible.
In context — Revelation 13:18
Here is wisdom . Let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast , for it is the number of a man, and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.
