Exegesis
The participle echōn {ἔχων | é-chōn} with autos {αὐτὸς | au-tós} intensifies the subject and introduces the instrument drepanon oxu {δρέπανον ὀξύ | dré-pa-non o-xý} as a circumstantial qualifier. In English, the formal maintains the participial nuance as “he held,” while the dynamic recasts it as “he carried” for narrative flow.
In context — Revelation 14:17
And another angel came forth from the temple in heaven, and he held a sharp sickle .
