 כונ
-When translated, this word exhibits a variety of spellings including "koen", "kohen", "coen", "cohen". The hebrew word does not contain the letter ה, so spellings with an 'h' are not justified.

-The word כונ appears
-under the guise of multiple "[[Strongnumbers]]" is variously interpreted as a verb meaning "prepare" (Strongnumber 3559) or a noun meaning "priest" (Strongnumber 3548)
-Intriguingly, the word כהנ (kohen), which does include an 'h' is also translated as "priest" and also assigned Strongnumber 3548, but also Strongnumber 3547, where it is inexplicably pronounced 'kahan'
-====History====
-In Genesis 14:18, Melchizedek is said to have been the "priest of god most high", at least this is the typical interpretation. But the Hebrew reads:
-כֹהֵ֖ן
-לְאֵ֥ל
-עֶלְיֽוֹן
-(kowen lal elyon)
-The priesthood of Israel was established during the Exodus
-The entire nation is a kingdom of priests - Exodus 19:6, "//you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation//" כֹּהֲנִ֖ים
-(3548 includes both singular and plural (see [[im]]) forms)
