Strong's Lexicon egkruptó: To hide, to conceal, to embed Original Word: ἐγκρύπτω Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in" or "within") and the verb "κρύπτω" (kruptó, meaning "to hide" or "to conceal"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "egkruptó," the concept of hiding or concealing is present in Hebrew words such as "סָתַר" (satar, Strong's H5641), meaning "to hide" or "to conceal." Usage: The verb "egkruptó" is used to describe the act of hiding or embedding something within another substance or context. It conveys the idea of something being concealed or mixed in such a way that it is not immediately visible or apparent. In the New Testament, this term is often used metaphorically to describe spiritual truths or principles that are hidden within parables or teachings. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the concept of hiding or embedding was common in various contexts, such as in cooking, where ingredients might be mixed or concealed within a dish. Similarly, in literature and rhetoric, truths or messages were often embedded within stories or parables to convey deeper meanings. This cultural practice is reflected in the use of "egkruptó" in the New Testament, where Jesus often used parables to convey hidden spiritual truths to His listeners.
