Revelation of John 9:19
The power ( η εξουσια ). As in 2:26; 6:8. This power of the horses is both in their mouths (because of the fire, smoke, brimstone) and in their tails, "for their tails are like unto serpents" ( α γαρ ουρα αυτων ομοια οφεσιν ). Associative-instrumental case οφεσιν after ομοια. Οφις is old word for snake (Mt 7:10).Having heads ( εχουσα κεφαλας ). Feminine present active participle of εχω, agreeing with ουρα (tails).
With them ( εν αυταις ). Instrumental use of εν. Surely dreadful monsters.
