Exegesis
Finally, kai to arnion {καὶ τὸ ἀρνίον | kaí tò arní-on} ‘and the Lamb’ functions as a co-subject, establishing the Lamb as the city’s temple alongside God. In translation, “because” or “since” captures the causal force of gar, and “are” reflects their joint status as the temple.
Root and etymology
Rootalpha–rho–eta–nu
“lamb”
In context — Revelation 21:22
And I did not see a temple in her, because the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are her temple.
