Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀπό (apo), meaning "from" or "away," and the verb κρύπτω (kryptō), meaning "to hide" or "to conceal."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of hiding or concealing in the Hebrew Bible is often expressed with words such as סָתַר (sathar, Strong's H5641), which means "to hide" or "to conceal." Another related term is כָּסָה (kasah, Strong's H3680), which also means "to cover" or "to conceal." These Hebrew terms convey similar ideas of hiddenness and secrecy found in the Greek ἀποκρύπτω.

Usage: The verb ἀποκρύπτω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of hiding or concealing something, often in a metaphorical sense, such as hiding truths or mysteries.

Context: The Greek verb ἀποκρύπτω appears in the New Testament in contexts where something is intentionally hidden or kept secret. It is used to describe the concealment of divine truths or mysteries that are not immediately apparent to all. This term is often employed in discussions about spiritual understanding and revelation.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἀποκρύπτω is used in passages such as:

Matthew 11:25: "At that time Jesus declared, 'I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.'"

Colossians 1:26: "the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations but is now revealed to His saints."

These passages illustrate the concept of divine truths being hidden from those who rely solely on human wisdom, while being revealed to those with childlike faith or to the saints. The use of ἀποκρύπτω underscores the selective revelation of God's mysteries, emphasizing that understanding is granted by divine will rather than human effort.
