Exegesis
The narrative then shifts with the aorist edōken {ἔδωκεν | é-dō-ken} “he gave,” where ho drakon {ὁ δράκων | ho drá-kōn} “the dragon” is the subject and auto {αὐτῷ | autôi} “to it” the indirect object.
In context — Revelation 13:2
And the beast that I saw resembled a leopard, with feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion; and the dragon bestowed on it his power and his throne and vast authority.
