This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew verb כָּחַד (kāḥad), its usage in the biblical text, and its Greek equivalents, offering insights into the thematic elements of concealment and destruction within the scriptural narrative.

Usage: The verb כָּחַד (kāḥad) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe actions of hiding or concealing something, whether it be information, objects, or intentions. It can also imply the act of destroying or cutting off.

Context: • The root כָּחַד (kāḥad) appears in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, often conveying the idea of concealment or secrecy. It is used to describe both physical hiding and metaphorical concealment, such as hiding one's intentions or feelings.
• In some instances, kāḥad is used in the context of destruction or cutting off, suggesting a more aggressive form of concealment where something is removed or obliterated.
• The term is found in narratives where individuals attempt to hide their actions or intentions from others, including from God. It underscores themes of human deceit and the futility of hiding from divine omniscience.
• For example, in Job 28:21, the term is used to describe wisdom as being hidden from the eyes of all living creatures: "It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing and concealed from the birds of the air."
• In Isaiah 3:9, the term is used to describe the brazen display of sin: "The expression on their faces testifies against them, and like Sodom, they flaunt their sin; they do not conceal it. Woe to them, for they have brought disaster upon themselves."
