C 5); ᵑ7, e.g. Numbers 22:4: עַן probably a substantive from [עָנָה] the √ of עֵת, time; so כְּעַן literally at (this) time = Hebrew עַתָּה: K§ 67,4); — Daniel 2:23 וּכְעַן הוֺדַעְתַּנִי, Daniel 3:15; Daniel 4:34; Daniel 5:12,15,16; Daniel 6:9; Ezra 4:13,14,21; Ezra 5:17; Ezra 6:6; עַדכְּֿעַן until now Ezra 5:16 (so ᵑ7 Genesis 18:22 +).

Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition
כְּעַן adv. Ch. now, already. Daniel 2:23, 3:15 4:34 5:12 Ezra 4:13. From the Hebrew כֵּן so and now (see עַד־כֵּן Nehemiah 2:16), this more lengthened form has sprung, just like Sam. Act 7:1-60 Dan 6:1-28, from the Hebr. קוּם. Hence עַד כְּעַן hitherto. Ezra 5:16.
