Exegesis
The direct object is introduced with the article to mysterion {τὸ μυστήριον | tó my-stḗ-ri-on}, which is then specified by the genitive tēs gynaikos {τῆς γυναικὸς | tês gy-naikós} “of the woman” and coordinated genitive kai tou thēriou {καὶ τοῦ θηρίου | kaí toû thē-rí-ou} “and of the beast,” both indicating association with the mystery.
In context — Revelation 17:7
And the angel said to me, “Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.”
