ekeithen marks movement, departure, or emergence with a previously indicated place as its point of origin.

The adverb consistently identifies an indicated place as the point from which movement proceeds: people depart, travel onward, come out, or attempt a crossing from that location. The cited clauses use it both for ordinary journeys and for departure from a house, place, or confinement.

1. Movement outward from an indicated place · dominant

   In Matthew 12:9 the APB renders Jesus as departing and entering a synagogue, while Matthew 14:13 renders his withdrawal by boat to a deserted place; in each clause the adverb marks the place left behind. It likewise frames onward travel in Acts 13:4, leaving a house in Acts 18:7, and coming out only after payment in Luke 12:59. In Luke 16:26 it occurs in the stated impossibility of crossing from one side to the other.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the adverb through phrases such as “from there,” “left there,” and “come out from there,” though it also varies the surrounding travel wording. These phrases confirm the clauses' movement away from a location without assigning every English expression to the adverb alone.
