ἐκείνη
ekeînos
A demonstrative pronoun primarily meaning 'that one,' used to designate someone or something distant in place, time, or thought from the speaker or the discourse context. In various contexts, it denotes that person or thing, often as opposed to one previously mentioned or present (as with οὗτος, 'this'). In discourse, ἐκεῖνος can function anaphorically (referring to someone previously mentioned), deictically (pointing out someone or something further off), or contrastively (distinguishing that one from another).

SIBI-P1 Translation G1565-05
to that one
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun; dative feminine singular (Gr,ED,,,,DFS); denotes a single feminine referent in the dative case. |
| Rendering Rationale | The dative feminine singular form ἐκείνῃ marks indirect object or association, so "to that one" preserves both the distant demonstrative force and the dative case. The rendering maintains contrast with the near demonstrative ("this one"). |
