Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of hiding or concealing is סָתַר (sathar, Strong's H5641), which means to hide or conceal.

Usage: The verb ἀποκρύπτω is used in the New Testament to denote the act of hiding or concealing something. It often implies a deliberate action to keep something hidden from view or understanding. This term can be used in both literal and metaphorical contexts, such as hiding physical objects or concealing spiritual truths.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of hiding or concealing was often associated with mystery religions and secret knowledge. In the Jewish context, the idea of God hiding or revealing knowledge was a common theme, reflecting the belief that divine wisdom and understanding were gifts from God, sometimes hidden from the unworthy or unprepared. The New Testament usage reflects this cultural backdrop, emphasizing the revelation of divine mysteries through Christ.
