Exegesis
The prepositional phrase epi ten kheira autou {ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ | e-pí tḕn kheî-ra au-toû} locates the chain with respect to the angel, idiomatically conveying possession “in his hand.” In translation, the participial modifiers are rendered as finite or attributive constructions to maintain natural English flow while preserving the tight linkage between the angel, his descent, and his instruments of authority and restraint.
In context — Revelation 20:1
And I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
