HAP, HAPLY.The old word hap, which means chance, is found in Rth 2:3 her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging to Boaz. The Heb. is literally her chance chanced (AVm [Note: Authorized Version margin.] her hap happened). Haply is by hap. Happily is the same word under a different spelling, and had formerly the same meaning, though it now means by good luck. In AV [Note: Authorized Version.] the spelling is now always haply, but in the first edition it was happily in 2Co 9:4 Lest happily if they of Macedonia come with mee, and find you unprepared, wee (that wee say not, you) should bee ashamed in this same confident boasting.<\/p>\n
hap, hapli (, mikreh, , lu; , mepote):<\/p>\n
Hap (a Saxon word for luck, chance) is the translation of mikreh, a fortuitous chance, a lot (Rth 2:3, the King James Version Her hap was to light on a part of the field belonging unto Boaz); in 1Sa 6:9, the same word is translated chance (that happened); event, in Ecc 9:2, Ecc 9:3, with happeneth, in Ecc 2:14.<\/p>\n
Haply (from hap) is the translation of lu, if that (1Sa 14:30, if haply the people had eaten freely); of ei ara, if then (Mar 11:13, if haply he might find anything thereon); of ei arage (Act 17:27, if haply they might feel after him); of mepote, lest ever lest perhaps etc. (Luk 14:29; Act 5:39); of me pos, lest in anyway (2Co 9:4 the King James Version, lest haply, the Revised Version (British and American) lest by any means).<\/p>\n
The Revised Version has haply for at any time (Mat 4:6; Mat 5:25; Mat 13:15; Mar 4:12; Luk 4:11; Luk 21:34; Heb 2:1); introduces haply (Mat 7:6; Mat 13:29; Mat 15:32; Mat 27:64; Mar 14:2; Luk 3:15; Luk 12:58; Luk 14:8, Luk 14:12; Act 27:29; Heb 4:1); has haply there shall be, for lest there be (Heb 3:12).<\/p>\n
