Greek Commentary for Revelation 10:8
Present active predicate participles feminine accusative singular agreeing with ην hēn (object of ηκουσα ēkousa), not with πωνη phōnē (nominative) as most of the cursives have it Ordinarily it would be ελαλει και ελεγεν elalei kai elegen See Revelation 4:1 for like idiom. This is the voice mentioned in Revelation 10:4. No great distinction is to be made here between λαλεω laleō and λεγω legō take Present active imperative of υπαγω hupagō and second aorist active imperative of λαμβανω lambanō The use of υπαγε hupage (exclamation like ιδε ide) is common in N.T. (Matthew 5:24; Matthew 8:4; Matthew 19:21; John 4:16; John 9:7). Charles calls it a Hebraism (Revelation 16:1). Note the repeated article here (το to) referring to the open book in the hand of the angel (Revelation 10:2), only here βιβλιον biblion is used, not the diminutive of βιβλαριδιον biblaridion of Revelation 10:2, Revelation 10:9, Revelation 10:10.

Lit., unrolled. Both this and the simple verb πτύσσω , to close (Luke 4:20), occur only once in the New Testament. The former word was used in medical language of the opening out of various parts of the body, and the latter of the rolling up of bandages. The use of these terms by Luke the physician is the more significant from the fact that elsewhere in the New Testament ἀνοίγω is used for the opening of a book (Revelation 5:2-5; Revelation 10:2, Revelation 10:8; Revelation 20:12); and εἰλίσσω , for rolling it up (Revelation 6:14).

This use of the participle in place of ειχεν eichen (imperfect) is like that in Revelation 4:7.; Revelation 12:2; Revelation 19:12; Revelation 21:12, Revelation 21:14, a Semitic idiom (Charles), or as if καταβαινων katabainōn (nominative) had preceded in place of καταβαινοντα katabainonta little book A diminutive of βιβλαριον biblarion (papyri), itself a diminutive of βιβλιον biblion (Revelation 5:1) and perhaps in contrast with it, a rare form in Hermas and Revelation 10:2, Revelation 10:9, Revelation 10:10. In Revelation 10:8 Tischendorf reads βιβλιδαριον biblidarion diminutive of βιβλιδιον biblidion (Aristophanes) instead of βιβλιον biblion (Westcott and Hort). The contents of this little book are found in Revelation 11:1-13. [source]
Present active of vivid dramatic action and the indefinite statement in the plural as in Revelation 13:16; Revelation 16:15. It is possible that the allusion is to the heavenly voice (Revelation 10:4, Revelation 10:8) and to the angel (Revelation 10:9). [source]
