Hi Bill,
What Bible are you quoting from? I checked and ASR on my computer uses
'into', so I checked sixteen translations and about half use 'into' and half use
'in'. I believe either 'into' or 'in' is appropriate. Gramcord parsing shows
rendering for eis:
into, to; in, at, on, upon, by, near; among.
