Exegesis
This is further qualified by the genitive chain tou arniou tou esphagmenou {τοῦ ἀρνίου τοῦ ἐσφαγμένου | toû ar-ní-ou toû es-pha-gmé-nou}, in which the perfect passive participle esphagmenou “having been slain” functions attributively to describe the Lamb and foregrounds His once-for-all sacrificial death with abiding significance.
In context — Revelation 13:8
And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain from the foundation of the world .
