Strong's Lexicon perikruptó: To conceal, to hide thoroughly Original Word: περικρύπτω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "peri-" meaning "around" or "about" and "krupto" meaning "to hide" or "to conceal." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves words like "סָתַר" (satar), meaning "to hide" or "to conceal," which appears in contexts where God hides His face or where individuals hide from danger or from God. Usage: The verb "perikruptó" is used to describe the act of hiding or concealing something completely or thoroughly. It implies a deliberate action to keep something out of sight or knowledge. In the context of the New Testament, it can refer to the concealment of truth or the hidden nature of certain spiritual realities. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of hiding or concealing was often associated with mystery religions and secretive practices. Knowledge and truth were sometimes considered esoteric, accessible only to those initiated into certain mysteries. In the Jewish context, the idea of hiddenness could relate to the mysteries of God, which were revealed progressively through His prophets and ultimately through Jesus Christ.
