Exegesis
The relative clause hopou ekeito {ὅπου ἔκειτο | hó-pou é-kei-to} specifies the location where the body formerly rested, with the imperfect ekeito marking a past, ongoing state now concluded, heightening the sense of an empty tomb.
In context — John 20:12
And she observed two angels dressed in white, seated, one beside the head and one beside the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying.
