Strong's Lexicon kai ge: and indeed, and yet, even Original Word: καί γε Word Origin: A combination of the Greek words καί (kai, meaning "and" or "also") and γε (ge, an emphatic particle). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "kai ge," similar emphatic constructions can be found in Hebrew using particles like "גַּם" (gam, meaning "also" or "even") and "אַף" (af, meaning "also" or "indeed"). Usage: The Greek conjunction "kai ge" is used to add emphasis or to introduce an additional thought that is closely related to the preceding statement. It often serves to highlight or underscore a point, suggesting a sense of certainty or affirmation. In the New Testament, it is used to draw attention to a particular aspect of a statement, often to reinforce or clarify the message being conveyed. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of Koine Greek, which was the common language of the Eastern Mediterranean during the time of the New Testament, conjunctions like "kai ge" were used to connect thoughts and provide emphasis. The use of such particles was a common rhetorical device in Greek literature and speech, allowing speakers and writers to convey nuances of meaning and emphasis that were important for effective communication.
