Strong's Lexicon alam: To hide, conceal, be hidden Original Word: עָלַם Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "alam," the concept of hiding or concealing can be found in Greek words such as κρύπτω (kryptō - Strong's G2928), which means to hide or conceal. Usage: The Hebrew verb "alam" primarily means to hide or conceal. It is used in various contexts in the Old Testament to describe the act of hiding something physically or metaphorically. This can refer to concealing objects, information, or even oneself. The term can also imply being hidden or unnoticed, often in the context of God's actions or human behavior. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of hiding or concealing was significant both in daily life and religious practice. The act of hiding could be associated with protection, secrecy, or shame. In a nomadic and agrarian society, hiding valuables or oneself from enemies was a practical necessity. Spiritually, the idea of God hiding His face or knowledge was a theme that underscored the mystery and sovereignty of God, as well as the human need for divine revelation.
