Definition: Secret, hiding place, shelter, cover

Word Origin: From the root סָתַר (satar), meaning "to hide" or "conceal."

- G4693 (skopos): While not a direct translation, it relates to the idea of watching or keeping something hidden or protected.

Usage: The Hebrew word "seter" primarily denotes a place of concealment or protection. It is often used in the context of God's protective presence, symbolizing a refuge or shelter where one can find safety and security. The term can also imply secrecy or hiddenness, emphasizing the idea of being shielded from danger or harm.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of a "hiding place" or "shelter" was significant, especially in a land with frequent threats from enemies and harsh environmental conditions. The imagery of God as a refuge or hiding place is prevalent in the Psalms, reflecting the Israelites' reliance on divine protection. This metaphor would have resonated deeply with a people familiar with the need for physical and spiritual security.
