Strong's Lexicon appethom: Covering, hidden place Original Word: אַפְתּוֹם Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to cover or to conceal. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that captures a similar concept of covering or concealment is Strong's Greek 2928 (κρύπτω, krypto), meaning to hide or conceal. Usage: The term "appethom" is used to denote a covering or a hidden place. It implies a sense of protection or concealment, often in a physical or metaphorical sense. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it can refer to a literal covering or a figurative hiding place, suggesting safety or secrecy. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of covering or concealment was significant both in practical and spiritual terms. Physically, coverings were used for protection against the elements or for modesty. Spiritually, the idea of God as a refuge or hiding place is a recurring theme, reflecting the belief in divine protection and shelter. The notion of concealment also ties into the broader biblical theme of God's mysteries and the hidden wisdom that is revealed to the faithful.
