Exegesis
A series of comparative clauses introduced by hos {ὡς | hōs} follows: hos phonen hydaton pollon {ὡς φωνὴν ὑδάτων πολλῶν | hōs phō-nḗn hy-da-tōn pol-lōn} “like a voice of many waters” and hos phonen brontes megales {ὡς φωνὴν βροντῆς μεγάλης | hōs phō-nḗn bron-tês me-gá-lēs} “like a voice of great thunder.” Each genitive phrase modifies phonen, layering auditory imagery of both continuity and sudden force.
In context — Revelation 14:2
And I heard a sound issuing from heaven, like surging waters and like mighty thunder; and the sound I heard was like harpists plucking their harps.
