Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1470 • ἐγκρύπτω (enkruptō): to hide in, conceal Usage: The verb חָבָא (chaba') is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the act of hiding or concealing oneself or something else. It often conveys the idea of seeking refuge or protection by being out of sight. Context: The Hebrew verb חָבָא (chaba') appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, primarily in the sense of hiding or concealing. This term is often used to describe physical concealment, such as hiding from danger or enemies. For example, in 1 Samuel 23:19, David is described as hiding from Saul. The act of hiding can also have a metaphorical or spiritual dimension, as seen in Job 13:20, where Job speaks of hiding from God's presence.
