Strong's Lexicon chabah: To hide, to conceal Original Word: חָבָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "chabah," the concept of hiding or concealing can be found in Greek words such as κρύπτω (kryptō - Strong's Greek 2928), which also means to hide or conceal. Usage: The Hebrew verb "chabah" primarily means to hide or conceal something. It is used in the context of covering or keeping something out of sight, often implying protection or secrecy. The term can be applied both in a literal sense, such as hiding physical objects, and in a metaphorical sense, such as concealing emotions or intentions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of hiding or concealing was significant in both daily life and religious practice. The act of hiding could be associated with protection, as in hiding from danger or enemies, or with shame and guilt, as in hiding one's sins. The idea of God as a refuge, a place to hide, is a recurring theme in the Hebrew Scriptures, reflecting the cultural understanding of divine protection and sanctuary.
