Exegesis
The narrative verb ēkousa {ἤκουσα | ḗ-kou-sa} introduces John’s auditory experience and is followed by a genitive construction, tou angelou tōn hydatōn {τοῦ ἀγγέλου τῶν ὑδάτων | toû ag-gé-lou tôn hy-dá-tōn}, in which the genitive article–noun–article–noun chain specifies “the angel whose domain is the waters.”
In context — Revelation 16:5
And I heard the angel of the waters say, “Righteous are You , the One who is and who was, the Holy One, because You have judged these things.”
