Exegesis
The verse opens with the coordinating conjunction kai {Καὶ | kaí} ‘and’, linking this judgment with the prior bowl visions in a continuous narrative sequence.
The coordinated clause kai edothe auto {καὶ ἐδόθη αὐτῷ | kaí edóthē autō̂} ‘and it was given to him’ employs the passive edóthē to convey impersonal permission conferred by divine authority, implicitly assigning the capacity to the sun.
