Strong's Lexicon sod: Counsel, secret, assembly, intimate conversation Original Word: סוֹד Word Origin: From the root verb יָסַד (yasad), meaning "to establish" or "to appoint." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3466 (μυστήριον, mystērion): Often translated as "mystery," referring to divine secrets or truths revealed by God. - G1012 (βούλη, boulē): Meaning "counsel" or "purpose," often used in the context of God's divine plan. Usage: The Hebrew word "sod" primarily refers to a confidential discussion or secret counsel. It conveys the idea of an intimate circle where private matters are shared, often implying a sense of trust and confidentiality. In the biblical context, it can refer to the divine counsel of God or the intimate fellowship among His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of "sod" was significant in both social and religious contexts. It often referred to the inner circle of advisors or confidants who were privy to the king's plans and decisions. Similarly, in the biblical narrative, "sod" is used to describe the intimate counsel of God, where He reveals His plans and purposes to His prophets and faithful followers. This reflects the value placed on wisdom, trust, and the sharing of divine knowledge.
