SIBI-P1 G1565-14
those-there ones (masculine plural, as direct object)
| Root | ἐκεῖνος (ekeinos) |
| Core Meanings | that one, those, the distant one, the one over there |
| Semantic Range | that one, those, the aforementioned, the distant party, the same one (with emphasis), sometimes contrasted with οὗτος (“this one”) |
| Conceptual Significance | ἐκεῖνος often marks distinction—between near and far, present and absent, or one group and another. In biblical discourse it can heighten contrast, emphasize identity, or recall a previously mentioned figure with solemn or emphatic force. |
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun; accusative masculine plural (AMP). Functions as the direct object in its clause, referring to masculine persons or substantives previously identified or contextually known. |
| Rendering Rationale | The demonstrative ἐκεῖνος points to someone or something at a distance (“that one there”). The form ἐκείνους is accusative masculine plural, indicating multiple masculine referents functioning as the direct object; “those-there ones” preserves both the deictic force and the plural masculine form. |
