SIBI-P1 G1565-11
that-one-there (masculine accusative singular); of-those-ones-there (genitive plural)
| Root | ἐκεῖνος (ekeinos) |
| Core Meanings | that one, that person, that thing, the one there, the distant one |
| Semantic Range | that one, those ones, he, she, it, they, the aforementioned one, the distant party, the other (in contrast) |
| Conceptual Significance | ἐκεῖνος marks distinction and distance—spatial, temporal, or rhetorical. In biblical discourse it often highlights a specific person previously mentioned, sometimes with emphasis (“that very one”), reinforcing identity, contrast, or solemn reference in narrative and theological argument. |
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun (ἐκεῖνος). Forms attested include accusative masculine singular (AMS: ἐκεῖνον) and genitive plural (GMP/GFP/GNP: ἐκείνων), indicating possession, source, or association. Functions adjectivally or substantivally depending on context. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the demonstrative force of ἐκεῖνος as a referent at a distance (“that one there”), distinguishing it from nearer demonstratives. The accusative masculine singular form ἐκεῖνον is reflected as a direct object (“that-one-there”), while the genitive plural forms (ἐκείνων) are rendered with a possessive/source sense (“of-those-ones-there”), preserving both case and number distinctions. |
