Exegesis
Finally, kai ho luchnos autēs to arnion {καὶ ὁ λύχνος αὐτῆς τὸ ἀρνίον | kaí ho lý-kh-nos au-tês tò ar-ní-on} is a copula-less nominal clause where ho luchnos {ὁ λύχνος | ho lý-kh-nos} “the lamp” with genitive autēs {αὐτῆς | au-tês} “of it” is identified by the appositional to arnion {τὸ ἀρνίον | tò ar-ní-on} “the Lamb.” English makes the implicit “is” explicit and preserves the sequence of main clause, purpose clause, explanatory clause, and nominal clause.
In context — Revelation 21:23
And the city has no need of the sun or the moon to shine upon it, because the glory of God has bestowed its light upon it, and the Lamb is its lamp.
