Berean Strong's Lexicon lat: Secret, secrecy, hidden Original Word: לָט Word Origin: Derived from a root that implies secrecy or concealment. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of secrecy or hiddenness in the Greek New Testament can be found in words like κρυπτός (kryptos - Strong's Greek 2927), which also means hidden or secret. Usage: The Hebrew word "lat" primarily denotes the concept of secrecy or something that is hidden. It is used in contexts where actions or intentions are concealed from others, often implying a sense of privacy or stealth. The term can also carry a negative connotation, suggesting deceit or underhandedness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of secrecy was significant in both religious and social contexts. Secrecy could be associated with divine mysteries, as well as with human actions that were either righteous or sinful. The idea of hiddenness is also prevalent in wisdom literature, where the hidden things of God are contrasted with human understanding.
