Exegesis
Tois anthropois {τοῖς ἀνθρώποις | tois anthrōpois} marks the human recipients, while the relative clause hous edōkas moi ek tou kosmou {οὓς ἔδωκάς μοι ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου | hous édōkas moi ek tou kosmou} identifies them as the ones given to Jesus and taken out of the world, with ek + genitive signaling separation from the world-order.
The next clause soi ēsan k’amoi autous edōkas {σοὶ ἦσαν κἀμοὶ αὐτοὺς ἔδωκας | soi ēsan kamoi autous edōkas} sets up a contrast between prior belonging and decisive transfer: the imperfect ēsan describes an earlier state of possession, while the aorist edōkas marks the giving as a distinct act.
In context — John 17:6
I have made Your name known to the people whom You gave Me out of the world ; they were Yours, and You gave them to Me, and they have guarded Your word.
