[Mesorah] Kean

[Michael Poppers]

> One of them is the one that we all know “Now”
but the other one is very intersting, and it fits the bible sources very
well.
It says “intensifier” and it bring the verses:
“Hinne na yad’ati” - "ha kean yada ana” (Bereshith 12:11)
“im na matzati chen be’enechem” - “If I have found favor in your sight” -
“Im Kean etshachact rachamin bechazutechem” (Bereshith 18:3) <
And I find it interesting that Avraham is repeatedly quoted as using "na"
when speaking to the "anashim" but not when speaking to his wife (18:6)....
