| Root | ἐκεῖ (ekei) |
| Core Meanings | there, in that place, to that place, yonder |
| Semantic Range | there, in that place, to that place, yonder, thither, at that location (literal or figurative) |
| Conceptual Significance | ἐκεῖ frequently marks divinely appointed locations, moments of revelation, or scenes of decisive action. It often signals narrative transition to a significant place—geographical or theological—highlighting the importance of where events unfold in the biblical story. |
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D); indeclinable adverb of place. It carries no tense, voice, mood, case, gender, or number, and functions to specify location or destination in relation to the speaker. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adverb ἐκεῖ denotes a specific, distal location—"that place" as opposed to "here." The rendering "there in that place" preserves its demonstrative force and spatial specificity while reflecting its function as an adverb of place without inflection for case, gender, or number. |
