Strong's Lexicon alam: To conceal, hide, be hidden Original Word: עָלַם Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2928 (kryptō): To hide, conceal - G613 (apokryptō): To hide away, conceal Usage: The Hebrew verb "alam" primarily means to conceal or hide. It is used in various contexts to describe the act of hiding something physically or metaphorically. This can include hiding objects, concealing information, or even the hidden nature of certain truths or mysteries. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of hiding or concealing was significant in both practical and spiritual contexts. Practically, it could refer to hiding from enemies or concealing valuables. Spiritually, it often related to the hidden nature of God's plans or the mysteries of divine wisdom that were not immediately apparent to human understanding. The idea of hiddenness also plays into the broader biblical theme of revelation, where what is hidden is eventually revealed by God.
