Exegesis
A purpose clause introduced by hina takes the aorist subjunctive pataxe {πατάξῃ | pa-táx-ē} ‘may strike’ with en aute {ἐν αὐτῇ | en au-tê} ‘with it’, targeting ta ethne {τὰ ἔθνη | tà éth-nē} ‘the nations’.
In context — Revelation 19:15
And out of His mouth comes a sharp sword so that by it He may strike the nations, and He Himself will shepherd them with a rod of iron; and He Himself treads the winepress of the wine of the wrath of the anger of God the Almighty.
