Exegesis
The adverb ekei {ἐκεῖ | e-keî} ‘there’ anchors the scene in place, while lepta duo {λεπτὰ δύο | lep-tá dú-o} ‘two small coins’ names the very small amount being given; the Greek noun-numeral order is smoothed into natural English without losing the original focus. The syntax layers identity, action, place, and amount into one brief close-up, and the translations keep that immediacy while varying the English verbs for clarity and style.
In context — Luke 21:2
And He also observed a certain poor widow dropping in two coins there.
