Exegesis
A second hoti introduces a causal explanation: the aorist ekrinen {ἔκρινεν | é-kri-nen} takes the accusative ten pornen ten megalen {τὴν πόρνην τὴν μεγάλην | tḕn pór-nēn tḕn me-gá-lēn} to emphasize her infamy.
In context — Revelation 19:2
For true and just are His judgments , because He has judged the great prostitute who corrupted the earth in her immorality and has avenged the blood of His servants from her hand.
