Exegesis
The coordination with kai {καὶ | kaí} joins a second imperfect verb, eichon {εἶχον | eî-chon}, to the first, creating a parallel structure that portrays ongoing, habitual actions: “they were being together” and “they were having.”
In context — Acts 2:44
And all who believed were together, and they were having all things in common .
