Exegesis
The Greek syntax presents a vivid participial chain: peribeblemene {περιβεβλημένη | peribeblēménē} ‘clothed around’, kechrysomene {κεχρυσωμένη | kechrysōménē} ‘adorned with gold’, and echousa {ἔχουσα | échousa} ‘having’, all modifying gune {γυνή | gynḗ} ‘woman’.
In context — Revelation 17:4
And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold , with precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication.
