Strong's Lexicon taman: To hide, to conceal, to bury Original Word: טָמַן Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "taman," 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 "taman" primarily means to hide or conceal something, often with the implication of doing so intentionally or secretly. It can also mean to bury, as in hiding something underground. This term is used in various contexts, including hiding physical objects, concealing plans or intentions, and metaphorically hiding oneself or one's actions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the act of hiding or concealing was often associated with protection or preservation. For example, treasures or valuable items might be hidden to protect them from theft or destruction. Similarly, individuals might hide themselves or their intentions to avoid danger or to execute plans without detection. The concept of hiding also carries moral and ethical implications, as it can relate to deceit or the concealment of sin.
