Exegesis
The coordinated objects—ten dynamin autou {τὴν δύναμιν αὐτοῦ | tḕn dý-na-min autoû} “its power,” ton thronon autou {τὸν θρόνον αὐτοῦ | tòn thró-non autoû} “its throne,” and exousian megalēn {ἐξουσίαν μεγάλην | ex-ou-sí-an megálēn} “great authority”—depict a comprehensive transfer of dominion. The translation preserves this accumulation of similes and the triadic bestowal to maintain the escalating sense of delegated sovereignty and menace.
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.
