Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis tous potamous kai tas pegas ton hydaton {εἰς τοὺς ποταμοὺς καὶ τὰς πηγὰς τῶν ὑδάτων | eis toûs po-ta-MOÛS kai tàs pē-GÁS tōn hy-DÁ-tōn} identifies two coordinated objects (“rivers” and “springs”) governed by a single preposition “into,” with the genitive ton hydaton modifying both and emphasizing that all sources of fresh water are affected.
In context — Revelation 16:4
And the third angel poured out his bowl upon the rivers and the springs of the waters, and it became blood .
