Exegesis
The result clause uses egeneto haima hōs nekrou {ἐγένετο αἷμα ὡς νεκροῦ | e-gé-ne-to haî-ma hōs ne-kroû} “it became blood like a dead man’s,” where haima serves as a predicate nominative and the comparative hōs introduces vivid imagery of death.
In context — Revelation 16:3
And the second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood like a corpse , and every living soul died that was in the sea.
