SIBI-P1 G1565-14

those-there ones (masculine plural, as direct object)

Rootἐκεῖνος (ekeinos)
Core Meaningsthat one, those, the distant one, the one over there
Semantic Rangethat one, those, the aforementioned, the distant party, the same one (with emphasis), sometimes contrasted with οὗτος (“this one”)
Conceptual Significanceἐκεῖνος 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 NotesDemonstrative 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 RationaleThe 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.
