Usage: The Greek verb κρύπτω (kruptó) primarily means to hide or conceal something. It is used in the New Testament to describe the act of hiding physical objects, concealing truths or intentions, and metaphorically, to refer to things that are not revealed or are kept secret. The term can imply both a positive sense of protection and a negative sense of deception, depending on the context. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, the concept of hiding or concealing was significant in various aspects of life, including warfare, politics, and personal relationships. Secrets were often guarded closely, and the ability to conceal one's intentions or possessions was sometimes seen as a virtue. In Jewish culture, the idea of hidden things also had theological implications, as certain truths were believed to be revealed only to the faithful or at the appointed time by God.
