Usage: The Hebrew verb סָתַר (cthar) primarily means "to hide" or "to conceal." It is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often referring to the act of hiding oneself, concealing something from view, or God hiding His face from His people. The term can imply both physical hiding and metaphorical or spiritual concealment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of hiding or concealing was significant both in daily life and in spiritual contexts. The act of hiding could be for protection, as in hiding from enemies, or for shame, as in hiding one's face. Spiritually, the idea of God hiding His face was a powerful metaphor for divine displeasure or judgment, indicating a withdrawal of favor or presence. Brown-Driver-Briggs II.
