Exegesis
The aorist passive verb edothē {ἐδόθη | edó-thē} ‘it was given’ appears twice, marking both the granting of a mouth and of exousía {ἐξουσία | exousía} ‘authority,’ with the dative pronoun autō {αὐτῷ | autôi} indicating the recipient.
In context — Revelation 13:5
And a mouth was given to him, speaking great things and blasphemies ; and authority was given to him to continue for forty-two months.
