KAI E-ba-len ho AN-ge-los to DRE-pa-non au-TOU eis tên GÊN KAI e-TRY-gê-sen tên AM-pe-lon tês GÊS KAI E-ba-len eis tên lê-NON tou thy-MOU tou the-OU ton ME-gan
Exegesis
The expression tḕn ámpelon tēs gēs {τὴν ἄμπελον τῆς γῆς | tḕn ám-pe-lon tēs gês} ‘the vine of the earth’ is a direct object with a genitive modifier, portraying what is harvested as characteristically “of the earth.”
The climactic prepositional phrase eis tḕn lēnon tou thymou tou theou {εἰς τὴν ληνὸν τοῦ θυμοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ | eis tḕn lē-nón tou thymou tou theou} ‘into the winepress of the wrath of God’ features stacked genitives—tou thymou ‘of wrath’ qualifies lēnon ‘winepress,’ and tou theou ‘of God’ specifies whose wrath is in view.
In context — Revelation 14:19
And the angel swung his sickle into the earth and gathered the vine of the earth, and he threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God .
