Exegesis
The aorist passive edothē {ἐδόθη | edóthē} ‘it was given’ functions as a divine passive, implying that God is the unstated giver, and foregrounds that the bride’s adornment is a gracious gift rather than self-produced.
In context — Revelation 19:8
And it was given to her so that she might clothe herself in fine linen , bright and pure; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints .
