Exegesis
The prepositional phrase eis hena topon {εἰς ἕνα τόπον | eis hé-na tó-pon} expresses motion into a specific location, focusing attention on the orderly placement of the cloth. In translation, the relative clause is kept close to “face cloth” to preserve identification, while the contrastive structure “not with…but…” mirrors the Greek adversative relationship to highlight intentional separation.
