Exegesis

The verse begins with kai {Καὶ | Kaí} linking this action to the preceding bowl judgments.

The second clause introduced by kai {καὶ | kaí} contains exeranthi {ἐξηράνθη | ex-ē-rán-thē}, aorist passive indicative, focusing on the effected state of the river as its water (to hydor autou {τὸ ὕδωρ αὐτοῦ | tò hý-dōr au-toû}) “was dried up.”
