Exegesis

The noun phrase ho kapnòs tou basanismoû autōn {ὁ καπνὸς τοῦ βασανισμοῦ αὐτῶν | ho kapnòs tou basanismoû autōn} ‘the smoke of their torment’ features the head noun kapnòs {καπνὸς | kapnòs} with two genitives.

The conditional clause ei tis lambánei tò cháragma tou onómatos autoû {εἴ τις λαμβάνει τὸ χάραγμα τοῦ ὀνόματος αὐτοῦ | eí tis lambánei tò cháragma tou onómatos autoû} ‘if anyone receives the mark of its name’ extends the warning universally. The repeated kai conjunctions create a cumulative structure that underscores the perpetual consequence of idolatrous allegiance.
