Strong's Lexicon sathar: To hide, conceal, cover Original Word: שָׂתַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of hiding or concealing in the New Testament can be related to Greek words such as κρύπτω (kryptō - Strong's G2928), which also means to hide or 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, others, or objects. It can also imply the act of God hiding His face, which signifies a withdrawal of favor or presence. The term is used both in literal and metaphorical senses, indicating physical concealment or spiritual and emotional withdrawal. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of hiding or concealing was significant both in daily life and religious practice. The act of hiding could be for protection, as in hiding from enemies, or for shame, as in hiding one's face. In a religious context, the hiding of God's face was a serious matter, often interpreted as a sign of divine displeasure or judgment. Conversely, seeking God's face was a pursuit of His favor and presence. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origina prim. root Definition to burst or break out NASB Translation broke (1).
