{Another beast} (allo th(8872)ion). Like the first beast
(verse  1 ), not a heteron th(8872)ion (a different beast). {Out of
the earth} (ek t(8873) g(8873)). Not "out of the sea" as the first
(verse  1 ), perhaps locating him in Asia Minor without
world-wide scope, but plainly the agent of the first beast and so
of the dragon. {He had} (eichen). Imperfect active of ech(935c).
Only two horns (not ten like the first, verse  1 ). {Like unto a
lamb} (homoia arni(9369)). Usual construction. Only the two horns
of a young lamb and without the ferocity of the other beast, but
"he spake as a dragon" (elalei h(9373) drak(936e)). Gunkel and Charles
confess their inability to make anything out of this item. But
Swete thinks that he had the roar of a dragon with all the looks
of a lamb (weakness and innocence). Cf. the wolves in sheep's
clothing ( Mt 7:15 ).
