Berean Strong's Lexicon chub: To hide, to withdraw, to cover Original Word: חוּב Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "chub," the concept of hiding or covering can be related to Greek terms such as "κρύπτω" (kryptō), meaning to hide or conceal, and "καλύπτω" (kalyptō), meaning to cover or veil. Usage: The Hebrew verb "chub" primarily conveys the idea of hiding or withdrawing. It is used in contexts where concealment or covering is implied, often in a protective or secretive manner. The term can also suggest a sense of retreat or pulling back from a situation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of hiding or covering was significant in both physical and spiritual contexts. Physically, it could refer to the act of seeking refuge or protection, such as hiding from enemies or natural elements. Spiritually, it could symbolize the covering of sins or the protective presence of God. The idea of concealment was often associated with divine protection or judgment, reflecting the dual nature of God's interaction with humanity.
