Exegesis
The comparative particle hos {ὡς | hōs} in the phrase hos phonen megalen {ὡς φωνὴν μεγάλην | hōs phō-nḗn me-gá-lēn} introduces a simile, indicating that what John hears is like a single great voice without insisting on a literal acoustic description.
In context — Revelation 19:1
After these things I heard what sounded like a great voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God .”
