Usage

The Greek word ἦν (én) is the imperfect tense of the verb "to be," indicating a continuous or repeated action in the past. It is often used to describe a state of being or existence that was ongoing in the past. In the New Testament, it frequently appears in narrative passages to set the scene or describe the condition of people or things.
