Exegesis
kai {Καὶ | Kaí} ‘and’ links this command to the preceding vision, maintaining narrative continuity.
The main clause kai ēkousa megalēs phōnēs {Καὶ ἤκουσα μεγάλης φωνῆς | Kaì ḗ-kou-sa megálēs phōnês} employs the aorist verb to report John’s auditory experience, with megalēs phōnēs functioning as a genitive of description.
The quoted imperatives Hypagete and ekcheete {Ὑπάγετε καὶ ἐκχέετε | Hy-pá-ge-te kaì ek-khé-ete} form a two-part command sequence.
