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.
