Exegesis
This is followed by the comparative clause hōs kai autē apedōken {ὡς καὶ αὐτὴ ἀπέδωκεν | hōs kaí autḗ a-pé-dō-ken} where autē {αὐτὴ | au-tḗ} ‘she herself’ intensifies her prior action, establishing reciprocity.
The coordinating kai {καὶ | kaí} introduces the second imperative diplōsate ta dipla {διπλώσατε τὰ διπλᾶ | di-plō-sa-te tá di-plâ} ‘double the doubles’, heightening the punitive response.
In context — Revelation 18:6
Repay her in the same way she herself repaid, and according to her deeds return to her double; in the cup which she mixed, mix for her a double measure.
