those

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).

to those

Morphological NotesDemonstrative determiner; dative feminine plural (Gr,ED,,,,DFP); from ἐκεῖνος, indicating distant reference.
Rendering RationaleThe form ἐκείναις is dative feminine plural of the distant demonstrative ἐκεῖνος, indicating association or direction toward feminine plural referents that are conceptually or spatially distant. "To those" preserves both the dative case and the distal demonstrative force.
