This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Heb 6:14. Ἦ μὴν) כי, Gen 22:17, LXX., κατʼ ἐμαυτοῦ ὤμοσα, λέγει Κύριος, ἦ μὴν εὐλογῶν εὐλογήσω σὲ, κ.τ.λ., “I have sworn by Myself, saith the Lord, that blessing I will bless thee,” etc. So ἦ μὴν, Gen 42:16. Devarius, when he had collected examples of the particle ἦ μὴν, infers that this word is used merely by the way of ornament, when it is applied to a promise or an oath: it is quite different in simple affirmations, in which it is necessarily (not merely ornamentally) used. But it may be resolved thus: ᾖ, let there be, whatever shall happen, i.e. occur what may, μὴν, yet this shall be done.
