Strong's Lexicon ekei: there, in that place Original Word: ἐκεῖ Word Origin: Derived from a demonstrative base akin to ἐκεῖνος (ekeinos), meaning "that" or "those." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is שָׁם (sham), Strong's Hebrew 8033, which also means "there" or "in that place." Usage: The Greek adverb "ἐκεῖ" (ekei) is used to denote a specific location, often contrasting with "here" (ἐνταῦθα, entautha). It is employed to indicate a place that is distinct from the speaker's current location or the location previously mentioned. In the New Testament, "ekei" is frequently used to describe physical locations, but it can also refer to metaphorical or spiritual places. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, "ekei" is used to describe geographical locations significant to the life and ministry of Jesus Christ and the early church. The term reflects the itinerant nature of Jesus' ministry, as He traveled from place to place preaching the Gospel. Understanding the geographical and cultural context of these locations can provide deeper insights into the narratives of the Gospels and Acts.

Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 1563: ἐκεῖἐκεῖ, adverb of place, there; a. properly: Matthew 2:13, 15; Matthew 5:24, and frequent. In Luke 13:28; ἐκεῖ is not used for ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ followed by ὅταν (at that time ... when etc.), but means in that place whither ye have been banished; cf. Meyer at the passage οἱ ἐκεῖ, namely, ὄντες, standing there, Matthew 26:71 (Tr marginal reading αὐτοί ἐκεῖ). It answers to a relative adverb: οὗ τό πνεῦμα, ἐκεῖ ἐλευθερία, 2 Corinthians 3:17 Rec.; Matthew 6:21; Matthew 18:20; Matthew 24:28; Mark 6:10; Luke 12:34; Hebraistically, where a preceding adverb or relative pronoun has already attracted the verb, ἐκεῖ is added to this verb pleonastically: Revelation 12:6 G T Tr WH (ὅπου ἔχει ἐκεῖ τόπον), Revelation 12:14 (ὅπου τρέφεται ἐκεῖ); cf. Deuteronomy 4:5, 14, 26; 1 Macc. 14:34, and what was said, p. 86{b}, 5 on the pronoun αὐτός after a relative. b. by a negligent use common also in the classics it stands after verbs of motion for ἐκεῖσε, thither: so after ἀπέρχομαι, Matthew 2:22; μεταβαίνω, Matthew 17:20; ὑπάγω, John 11:8; ἔρχομαι, John 18:3; προπέμπομαι, Romans 15:24; cf. Lob. ad Phryn., pp. 43f, 128; Hermann on Sophocles Antig. 515; Trachin. 1006; Alexander Buttmann (1873) on Philoct. 481; Winers Grammar, § 54, 7; Buttmann, 71 (62) and 378 (324).
