The term "hideth" is an archaic form of the verb "hide," which appears in various contexts throughout the Bible. It is used to describe the act of concealing or keeping something out of sight. In the Berean Standard Bible , the concept of hiding is often associated with both physical concealment and spiritual or emotional states.

Physical Concealment:

In the Old Testament, "hideth" is frequently used to describe the act of physically hiding oneself or objects. For example, in 1 Samuel 10:22, when Saul is chosen to be king, he hides among the baggage: "So they inquired further of the LORD, 'Has the man come here yet?' And the LORD replied, 'He is hiding among the supplies.'" This instance illustrates the human tendency to hide out of fear or reluctance to face responsibility.

Similarly, in Joshua 2:4, Rahab hides the spies sent by Joshua: "But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them." This act of hiding is significant as it demonstrates Rahab's faith and allegiance to the God of Israel, ultimately leading to her and her family's salvation.

Spiritual and Emotional States:

The concept of hiding is also used metaphorically to describe spiritual and emotional conditions. In Psalm 32:5, David speaks of the relief that comes from confessing sin rather than hiding it: "Then I acknowledged my sin to You and did not hide my iniquity. I said, 'I will confess my transgressions to the LORD.' And You forgave the guilt of my sin." Here, hiding sin is associated with guilt and separation from God, while confession leads to forgiveness and restoration.

Proverbs 28:13 further emphasizes this theme: "He who conceals his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them will find mercy." The act of hiding sin is portrayed as a barrier to spiritual prosperity and divine mercy.

God as a Hiding Place:

Conversely, God is often depicted as a refuge or hiding place for His people. In Psalm 32:7, David declares, "You are my hiding place; You protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of deliverance." This imagery conveys the idea of God as a source of protection and comfort, where believers can find safety and peace amidst life's challenges.

Isaiah 32:2 also presents a similar concept: "Each man will be like a shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in a dry land, like the shade of a great rock in an arid land." Here, the imagery of hiding in God is extended to the righteous, who provide shelter and protection to others.

Divine Hiddenness:

The Bible also speaks of times when God hides His face, often as a response to the sin and disobedience of His people. In Isaiah 59:2, it is written, "But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear." This divine hiddenness serves as a call to repentance and a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God.

In summary, the concept of "hideth" in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings, from physical concealment to spiritual refuge. It highlights human tendencies to hide from responsibility and sin, while also portraying God as a protective hiding place for those who seek Him.
