BEAST
Beloved of the Lord;
Thus, it is written: “And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee: and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee: for thy Merchants-ἔμποροί (emporoi)-a trader, (a (wholesale) tradesman, dealer:—merchant) were the great men of the earth: for by-ἐν (en)-in) thy sorceries-φαρμακείᾳ (pharmakeia)-enchantment with drugs, (i.e. the use or the administering of drugs:—medication ("pharmacy"); (by extension:— magic) were all-πάντα (panta)-all, every, the whole) nations-ἔθνη (ethen)-nation, people) deceived-ἐπλανήθησαν (eplanethesan)-to lead astray, to (properly, cause to) roam (from safety, truth, or virtue):—go astray, deceive, err, seduce, wander, be out of the way.).” -(Revelation 18:23)

OR,
“... [οὐκ-neither] [ἔλαβον-had received] [τὸ-the] [χάραγμα-mark] ...”

Inflection: (Noun, Genitive, Singular, Neuter)
(C4) Note: (1.) This is the only time the word: (G5480-mark) is inflected with the Genitive case; which places a strong emphasis over whose mark it is:
[of the beast].
(2.) The 'Majority text-type' Greek manuscripts shows a
(Definite Article: τοῦ (tou)-[of-the]) prior to the Greek word: (χαράγματος-mark).
OR,
“... and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image,
[and-καὶ-"and"] [over-ἐκ-"out"] [τοῦ-"of-the"] [mark-χαράγματος-"carve-effect"] [his-αὐτοῦ-"OF-it"], ...”
Order of cases:
“... and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image,

(3.) Translators did not include the (Definite Article: τοῦ (tou)-[of-the]) prior to the Greek word: (χαράγματος-mark). That's because the Greek word:
(αὐτοῦ-his) was already supplied. Instead, the (Possessive-Pronoun: αὐτοῦ-his) was placed prior to the Greek word: (χαράγματος-mark).
OR,
“... and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image,
and over his mark, and over the number of his name, ...”

"ἐκ τοῦ χαράγματος ἀυτοῦ" OR,
[ἐκ-"out"] [τοῦ-"of-the"] [χαράγματος-"carve-effect"//"mark"] [αὐτοῦ-"OF-it"]

"... and those who were victorious over the beast and his image [missing] and the number of his name, ..."
(C10) Legacy Standard Bible
"... and those who have overcome the beast and his image [missing] and the number of his name, ..."
(D) The Greek word:
G5480-χαράγματι (charagmati) + Dative case.
(D1) Only one (1) verse uses the Greek word:
(χαράγματι (charagmati)-G5480) with the Dative case.
(D2) Definition of:
The Dative case: The Dative-case shows the relationship of an 'indirect object' to a Verb, often found inside a prepositional phrase. a.) One of the functions of the dative-case is to shows the relationship of a Dative (-Noun, -Pronoun) to a Verb. b.) The Dative Noun [or] Pronoun tells “to whom” or “for whom” the action of the Verb is performed. c.) Greek Prepositions: (e.g. ἐν, ἐπί, παρά) with the Dative-case have unique meanings/definitions.
E.g. "His disciples came up [to show-Verb] [Him-Personal-Pronoun, Dative case:— ('indirect object' / ["to-HIM"]]the buildings of the temple."
(D3) Acts 17:29 Example #1
29 “Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone G5480-graven-χαράγματι (charagmati)-something graven, sculptured, (i.e. thing carved, sculpture, graven work), :—Dative case) by art, and man's device.”
Inflection: (Noun, Dative, Singular, Neuter)

OR,
“... [τοῦ-"OF-the"] [θεοῦ-"God"] [οὐκ-"NOT"]
we ought-[ὀφείλομεν-"we-ought"-Verb]
to think-[νομίζειν-"to-be-inferring"-Verb]
[χρυσῷ-"to-Gold"] [ἢ-"or"] [ἀργύρῳ-"to-Silver"] [ἢ-"or"] [λίθῳ-"to-Stone"]
graven-[χαράγματι-"to-CARVE-effect"//"to-sculpture"-Noun, Dative case]
[τέχνης-OF-Art], ...”

C.) 26 (55), 2). b. thing carved, sculpture, graven work: of idolatrous images, Acts 17:29. (In various other senses in Greek writings from Sophocles down.)
(E5) Friberg, Analytical Greek Lexicon:
(1) mark or stamp, made by engraving, etching, imprinting, branding (RV 13.16); (2) by metonymy likeness, handiwork, the thing formed (AC 17.29)
(E6) Gingrich Lexicon:
1. a mark or stamp Rv 13:16f; 14:9, 11; 15:2 v.l.; 16:2; 19:20; 20:4.—2. a thing formed, an image Ac 17:29.* [pg 215]

(E8) Summary.
(1.) All of the above verses use the Strong's Number:
(G5480-'to engrave') with three (3) different inflections:
seven (7) times as:
χάραγμα (charagma): Noun, Accusative, Singular, Neuter.
Rev. 13:16, 13:17, 14:9, 14:11, 16:2, 19:20, 20:4
one (1) time as:
χαράγματι (charagmati): Noun, Genitive, Singular, Neuter
Rev. 15:2
one (1) time as:
χαράγματος (charagmatos): Noun, Dative, Singular, Neuter.
Act. 17:29
(2.) All share a common definition of: 'to scratch or etch', 'carve', 'grave', 'impress'.
(3.) I will set aside the use of the Dative case, as it is not directly relevant to the study of Revelation 13:16.
(4.) The whole purpose of me drawing your attention to the 'cases' was to lay the foundation for the segments to follow, and for you to understand how each 'case' is defined.
(F) The
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Number: G5482
(F1) The Strong's Number: (G5480-'to engrave') is a kin
to the Strong's Number: (G5482-'to sharpen to a point').
(F2) Only Luke 19:43 uses the Strong's Number: (G5482).
(F3) Luke 19:43
43 “For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast
G5482-a trench-χάρακά (charaka)-a stake of wood, palisade, rampart, (from χαράσσω charássō (to sharpen to a point; akin to G1125 through the idea of scratching); a stake, i.e. (by implication) a palisade or rampart (military mound for circumvallation in a siege):—trench.) about-περιβαλοῦσιν (peribalousin)-to cast around, (to surround a city with a bank (palisade),) thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,”
(F4) Note: A 'palisade', sometimes called a 'stakewall' or a 'paling', is typically a fence or defensive wall made from iron or wooden stakes, or tree trunks, and used as a defensive structure or enclosure.
Etymology: Palisade derives from pale, from the Latin word pālus, meaning stake, specifically a "stake" used to support a fence.[1] A palisade gangs these side by side to create a fence entirely made of pales.-wikipedia.
A pattern of 1.5-millimeter microneedles that contain vaccine and fluorescent quantum dots are applied as a patch. The needles dissolve under the skin, leaving the encapsulated quantum dots. Their pattern can be read to identify the vaccine that was administered. The project was co-led by Rice University bioengineer Kevin McHugh during his time at MIT. (Credit: Second Bay Studios)
(F4) Note: Can you think of any technology that resembles the above? Perhaps, a microneedle vaccine patch? This patches are said to go into the epidermis of the skin; it is both etched 'into' the skin and 'on' the skin. Oddly enough, this patches resemble the bite of a snake.
(F5) Note: Furthermore, the Strong's Number:
(G5482-'to sharpen to a point')
is a kin to The Strong's Number:
(G1125-'to grave').
(G) The
Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Number: G1125
(G1) The Strong's Number: (G5482-'to sharpen to a point') is akin to
the Strong's Number: (G1125-'to grave'). The Strong's Number: (G1125)
is a root word; a primary verb; 'to grave', especially to write.
(G2) (1.) The Strong's Number: (G1125) can be found throughout the New Testament in words like: ("it is written'"-gegraptai) ("write"-graphe)
("I write"-grapho) ("to write"-graphein) &co.
(2.) It is used more than 200 times. It is first used in Matthew 2:5.
(G3) Matthew 2:5
5 “And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus G1125-it is written-γέγραπται (gegraptai)-to be written, (properly: to grave, scrape, inscribe, scratch, engrave; with focus on the physical act of inscribing/writing)) by the Prophet;”
OR,
“... for thus ["HAS-been-WRITTEN"] by the Prophet;”
Inflection: (Verb, Perfect, Passive, Indicative, 3rd-Person, Singular)
(G4) Note: The last use of the Strong's Number: (G1125-'to grave')
can be found in the last Chapter of the Bible.

(G7) Note: Worth Nothing: (1.) Graphene is commonly found in pencils. (2.) If we consider the order of root words (i.e. G5480—G5482—G1125), then perhaps this [mark-χάραγμα—G5480] is digital; one that can be [implemented via a sharp object—G5482] on the hand or forehead, with the capacity to [send and/or receive written information—G1125]. (3.) Remember, the definition for the Greek word: (χάραγμα) does not say what the 'actual' mark is, it simply states that it is 'impressed', 'engraved', 'etched', 'carved' on the right hand or forehead for the purpose of buying and selling.
