Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A contraction of ἐπί (epi, G1909) and ἄν (an, G302).Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐπάν, similar conditional or temporal conjunctions in Hebrew include אֲשֶׁר (asher, H834) and כַּאֲשֶׁר (ka'asher, H3588), which are used to introduce relative clauses or conditions in the Hebrew Bible. These terms function similarly in providing the context or conditions for the actions described in the text. Usage: ἐπάν is used in the New Testament to denote a condition or a specific time when an action occurs. It often introduces clauses that describe the circumstances under which something happens. Context: The Greek conjunction ἐπάν is a compound of ἐπί (epi), meaning "upon" or "on," and ἄν (an), a particle often used to express contingency or potentiality. This combination is used to introduce clauses that are conditional or temporal in nature. In the New Testament, ἐπάν appears in contexts where the timing or condition of an event is significant. It is often translated as "when" or "whenever," indicating that the action in the main clause is dependent on the occurrence of the event in the subordinate clause.
