τὴν ληνὸν … τὸν μέγαν. 1 has τὸν ληνόν. Text. Rec[496] has τὴν μεγάλην with א.

[496] Rec. Textus Receptus as printed by Scrivener.

19. ἔβαλεν. “Cast” as in Revelation 14:16; but here the Angel himself plainly gathers as well, he does not merely supply the instrument for gathering.

τὴν ληνὸν … τὸν μέγαν. Isaiah 63:2-3; Lamentations 1:13. The masculine is probably most simply explained by a reminiscence of the LXX. Genesis 30:38; Genesis 30:41. Tyconius thought that “the mighty” was cast into the winepress. Weiss holds that God’s great wrath is itself the winepress.
