Exegesis
The final purpose clause eis taphēn tois xenois {εἰς ταφὴν τοῖς ξένοις | eis ta-phḗn toîs xé-nois} uses eis + accusative to express purpose (‘for burial’) and the dative to identify beneficiaries (‘the strangers’). This structure foregrounds the decision-making and highlights the intended purpose of providing a burial place for non-citizens.
In context — Matthew 27:7
So after taking counsel , they bought the potter’s field with the money as a burial place for the strangers .
