Strong's Lexicon sathar: To hide, conceal, cover Original Word: סָתַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2928 (krupto): To hide, conceal - G613 (apokrupto): To hide away, conceal Usage: The Hebrew verb "sathar" primarily means to hide or conceal. It is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often referring to the act of hiding oneself, concealing something, or being hidden by God. The term can imply physical hiding, as well as metaphorical or spiritual concealment, such as God hiding His face or protection under His wings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of hiding or concealment carried significant weight, both in terms of physical safety and spiritual relationship with God. The act of hiding could be for protection from enemies or as a form of divine judgment when God "hides His face" from His people due to their disobedience. Conversely, God's concealment can also signify His protective care, as seen in the imagery of being hidden under His wings.
