from that-there place
| Root | ἐκεῖθεν (ekeithen) |
| Core Meanings | from that place, from there, thence, from that location |
| Semantic Range | from that place, from there, from that region, thence, from that time (by extension in narrative sequence) |
| Conceptual Significance | The term often marks narrative movement or transition, tracing physical departure or the spread of events from a specific location. In biblical narrative, it can highlight the geographical unfolding of divine action or the movement of individuals within the unfolding redemptive account. |
| Morphological Notes | Adverb (Gr,D), indeclinable; formed from ἐκεῖ ("there/that place") + the suffix -θεν indicating motion from a location; functions as an adverb of source. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the deictic force of ἐκεῖ ("that place/there") combined with the suffix -θεν, which denotes movement from a place. As an adverb (Gr,D), it is indeclinable and expresses source or origin, so "from that-there place" reflects both its spatial deixis and its function as an adverb of departure. |
