Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is καταφυγή (kataphugē), meaning "refuge" or "shelter."

Usage: The term "chebyon" refers to a place of concealment or refuge. It is often used metaphorically in the Hebrew Bible to describe a place of safety and protection, particularly in relation to God's providence and care for His people. The word conveys a sense of divine shelter and security, emphasizing the protective nature of God as a refuge for those who trust in Him.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of a hiding place was significant both physically and spiritually. Physically, it could refer to a literal place of refuge from enemies or danger, such as caves or fortified cities. Spiritually, it symbolized the protection and security found in a relationship with God. The Israelites often faced threats from surrounding nations, and the imagery of God as a hiding place provided comfort and assurance of His sovereign protection.
