Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "kan" as it is a specific Greek conjunction. However, similar conditional expressions in Hebrew might involve conjunctions like אִם (im, H518) meaning "if," which is used to introduce conditional clauses in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The word "kan" appears in the New Testament to convey a sense of conditionality or possibility, often emphasizing a hypothetical situation or an exception. Context: The Greek word "kan" is a conjunction that combines the meanings of "kai" (and, also, even) and "ean" (if, in case). It is used to introduce a conditional clause, often highlighting a situation that is possible but not certain. This word is typically employed to express a degree of uncertainty or to present a hypothetical scenario.
