Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ek tou thronou tou theou kai tou arniou {ἐκ τοῦ θρόνου τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ ἀρνίου | ek toû thrónou toû theoû kaì toû arnÍou} specifies the single source: the river comes from one throne that belongs jointly to God and the Lamb. The single preposition ek governing both coordinated genitives theou and arniou underscores their united authority and shared role as the origin of the life-giving river. In translation, this unity is preserved by keeping “from the throne of God and of the Lamb” as one flowing prepositional phrase rather than splitting the sources.
In context — Revelation 22:1
And he showed me a river of the water of life, bright as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb .
