Berean Strong's Lexicon mikman: Hidden treasure, secret store Original Word: מִכְמָן Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּמַן (kaman), meaning "to hide" or "to conceal." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of hidden treasures can be related to Greek terms such as θησαυρός (thesauros, Strong's G2344), which means "treasure" or "storehouse." Usage: The term "mikman" refers to something that is hidden or concealed, often used in the context of treasures or valuable items that are stored away and not immediately visible. It conveys the idea of something precious that is kept secret or protected from discovery. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, treasures were often hidden to protect them from theft or to preserve them for future use. This practice was common due to the lack of secure storage facilities and the prevalence of raids and invasions. The concept of hidden treasures also carried a metaphorical meaning, representing wisdom, knowledge, or spiritual truths that are not immediately apparent and require diligent seeking.
