Exegesis
The main verb exekheen {ἐξέχεεν | exé-khe-en} takes ten phialen autou {τὴν φιάλην αὐτοῦ | tēn phiálēn autoû} as its object, a phrase denoting the vessel of divine judgment, and the prepositional phrase epi ton aera {ἐπὶ τὸν ἀέρα | epí tón aéra} specifies the sphere receiving the outpouring.
In context — Revelation 16:17
And the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a great voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, “It is done.”
