Strong's Lexicon kachad: To hide, conceal, cut off, destroy Original Word: כָּחַד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence, the Greek word "κρύπτω" (kryptō, Strong's G2928) shares a similar meaning of hiding or concealing. Usage: The Hebrew verb "kachad" primarily means to hide or conceal. It can also imply the act of cutting off or destroying, often in the context of concealing information or truth. This verb is used in various contexts, including the concealment of physical objects, the hiding of emotions or intentions, and the suppression of truth or knowledge. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of hiding or concealing could have both positive and negative connotations. For instance, hiding could be a protective measure, as in hiding someone from danger. Conversely, it could also imply deceit or the withholding of truth, which was often viewed negatively in a culture that valued honesty and transparency. The concept of concealment is also significant in the context of divine revelation, where God may choose to reveal or hide certain truths from humanity.
