Exegesis
The second clause, kai etheristhē hē gē {καὶ ἐθερίσθη ἡ γῆ | kaí e-the-rís-thē hē gḗ} ‘and the earth was reaped’, employs an aorist passive verb to shift focus to the completed result, underscoring that the harvest is effected by prior heavenly initiative. English renderings preserve the participial title with a relative clause (“He who sat on the cloud”) in formal and a simple locative phrase (“He on the cloud”) in dynamic, maintain the harvest imagery through “sickle” and “reaped/harvested,” and emphasize the decisive swing in the formal and the downward sweep in the dynamic translation.
In context — Revelation 14:16
And He who sat on the cloud swung His sickle over the earth, and the earth was reaped.
