Usage: The Hebrew word "lat" primarily denotes actions or things done in secret or with a sense of concealment. It is often used to describe hidden or covert activities, emphasizing the aspect of secrecy or stealth. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of secrecy was significant in various contexts, including warfare, diplomacy, and religious practices.
