Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the Greek adverb ἐκεῖσε, similar directional terms in Hebrew include שָׁם (sham), meaning "there," which is used to indicate location or direction in the Old Testament. Usage: The Greek adverb ἐκεῖσε (ekeise) is used to indicate direction or location, often translated as "there" or "thither" in English. It is employed in the New Testament to denote movement towards a specific place or to refer to a location that has been previously mentioned or is understood in the context. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the New Testament, travel and movement were significant aspects of daily life and ministry.
