Exegesis
The phrase eph hippois leukois {ἐφʼ ἵπποις λευκοῖς | eph híp-pois leu-koîs} denotes manner and means (“on white horses”), and the participle endedumenoi {ἐνδεδυμένοι | en-de-du-mé-noi} functions circumstantially to describe their state, governing the accusative modifiers bussinon leukon katharon {βύσσινον λευκὸν καθαρόν | býs-si-non leu-kón ka-tha-rón}, which cumulatively emphasize the purity and status of the linen. English translation renders these participial and descriptive elements as finite and participial phrases to preserve both the ongoing action and the vivid portrayal of the troops’ regal and spotless attire.
In context — Revelation 19:14
And the armies in heaven were following Him on white steeds, garbed in fine linen that was pure and white.
