Exegesis
The second clause’s subject, panta ta ornea {πάντα τὰ ὄρνεα | pánta tá órnea} ‘all the birds’, with echortasthēsan {ἐχορτάσθησαν | ekhortásthēsan} and the prepositional phrase ek tōn sarkōn autōn {ἐκ τῶν σαρκῶν αὐτῶν | ek tōn sarkṓn autṓn}, depicts the birds gorged on the flesh of the slain, emphasizing the completeness and humiliation of the defeat. The formal reconstruction retains the participial and prepositional structure to reflect the original syntax and theological emphasis.
In context — Revelation 19:21
And the rest were killed with the sword of the One sitting upon the horse, the sword proceeding from His mouth, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.
