Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The concept of a "secret" or "mystery" in the Hebrew Bible, as expressed by תַּעֲלֻמָּה, finds its Greek counterpart in the New Testament with the word μυστήριον (mystērion), Strong's Greek Number 3466. This Greek term is used to describe divine mysteries or truths that were once hidden but are now revealed through Christ and the Gospel.

Usage: The word תַּעֲלֻמָּה is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote secrets or mysteries, often in the context of divine wisdom or knowledge that is not readily accessible to human understanding.

Context: • תַּעֲלֻמָּה appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that emphasize the hidden or mysterious nature of certain knowledge or wisdom. It is often associated with the divine or with profound insights that are beyond ordinary human comprehension.
• In Job 11:6, the term is used to describe the "secrets of wisdom," suggesting that God's wisdom is deep and multifaceted, containing aspects that are not immediately apparent to humans: "and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom, for true wisdom has two sides. Know then that God has chosen to overlook some of your iniquity" (BSB).
• The use of תַּעֲלֻמָּה highlights the theme of divine mystery and the limitations of human understanding in grasping the full scope of God's wisdom and plans. It underscores the belief that some aspects of divine knowledge are intentionally hidden and can only be revealed by God.
