Exegesis
Three parallel comparative clauses (each led by ὡς {ὡς | hōs} ‘like’) describe escalating auditory imagery: φωνὴν ὄχλου πολλοῦ {φωνὴν ὄχλου πολλοῦ | phō-nḗn ókh-lou poll-loû} ‘a voice like a great multitude’, φωνὴν ὑδάτων πολλῶν {φωνὴν ὑδάτων πολλῶν | phō-nḗn hy-dá-tōn pol-lṓn} ‘a voice like many waters’, and φωνὴν βροντῶν ἰσχυρῶν {φωνὴν βροντῶν ἰσχυρῶν | phō-nḗn bron-tṓn is-khy-rṓn} ‘a voice like mighty thunders’.
In context — Revelation 19:6
And I heard, as it were, a voice like that of a great multitude , and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.”
