Exegesis
The Aramaic conditional particle hen {הֵן | hēn} ‘if’ introduces a protasis, followed by the existential particle itai {אִיתַי | ʾî-tāy} ‘there is’, which affirms divine presence.
In context — Daniel 3:17
If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king .
