Strong's Lexicon krupté: Hidden place, secret chamber Original Word: κρυπτή Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb κρύπτω (krupto), meaning "to hide" or "to conceal." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of hiddenness is סֵתֶר (seter), meaning "secret" or "hiding place," as seen in passages like Psalm 91:1. Usage: The term "krupté" refers to a hidden or secret place, often used metaphorically to describe something that is concealed from view or not immediately apparent. In the New Testament, it is used to emphasize the hidden nature of certain spiritual truths or the private aspect of one's relationship with God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of hidden or secret places was common, often associated with mystery religions and esoteric knowledge. In the Jewish context, the idea of hiddenness also carried significant weight, as it related to the mysteries of God and the inner workings of the human heart. The New Testament usage reflects a blend of these cultural understandings, emphasizing the importance of sincerity and authenticity in one's faith.
