| Root | ἐκεῖνος (ekeinos) |
| Core Meanings | that one, those, the one there, the distant one |
| Semantic Range | that one, those, the one there, those people, the aforementioned ones, the distant party (in contrast to οὗτος, “this one”) |
| Conceptual Significance | ἐκεῖνος often marks distinction or distance—spatial, temporal, or rhetorical—highlighting a specific group or person set apart from others. In biblical discourse it can emphasize contrast between groups (e.g., believers and others) or draw attention to a previously mentioned party. |
| Morphological Notes | Demonstrative pronoun/adjective; dative masculine plural (Gr,RD/ED,,,,DMP). Functions as indirect object, object of certain prepositions, or dative of means/association, referring to masculine plural antecedents. |
| Rendering Rationale | The lemma ἐκεῖνος denotes a demonstrative pointing to someone or something at a distance (“that one/those”). The form ἐκείνοις is dative masculine plural, so the rendering includes the dative force (“to”) and preserves the plural masculine reference with “those ones,” reflecting both case and number. |
