Exegesis
The dative pronoun ekeinois {ἐκείνοις | e-keí-nois} “to those” is fronted before the verb eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen} “he said,” giving prominence to the new group of laborers being addressed.
In context — Matthew 20:4
And to them he said, “You also go into the vineyard , and whatever may be right I will give to you.”
