SIBI-P1 H5643-03
in the concealment of
| Root | סתר (s-t-r) |
| Core Meanings | to hide, conceal, cover, keep secret |
| Semantic Range | hiding place, secrecy, covert action, secret counsel, concealed shelter, protective cover |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used of a hidden place of refuge or secrecy, whether for protection under YHWH’s care or for concealed wrongdoing. It conveys the theological motif of hiddenness—either the safety of divine shelter or the danger of secret sin. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + masculine singular construct noun (Ncmsc) from סֵתֶר, derived from the root סתר. The construct form indicates a genitival relationship, even if the complement is unstated in isolation. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun סֵתֶר derives from the root סתר (“to hide, conceal”). The form is masculine singular construct with the prefixed preposition ב (“in”), so "in the concealment of" preserves both the root idea of hiddenness and the construct relationship implied by the morphology. |
