Exegesis
The accusative neuter plural noun phrase Ta hydata {Τὰ ὕδατα | Tà hý-da-ta} ‘the waters’ functions as the topic of the explanation, further specified by the relative clause ha eides {ἃ εἶδες | ha ei-des} ‘which you saw’, anchoring the reference back to an earlier part of the vision.
In context — Revelation 17:15
And he said to me, “The waters which you saw, where the prostitute sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues .”
