ἤδη
ḗdē · Greek · Strong's G2235 · 58 occurrences
The KJV renders 13 different Hebrew and Greek words as “now”
What it means
even now
apparently from G2228 (ἤ) (or possibly G2229 (ἦ)) and G1211 (δή);
How the KJV renders it
already, now, by this time
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“now”
“already”
also renders kᵉbâr (H3528)
