he/she was concealing
| Root | κρύπτω (kryptō) |
| Core Meanings | hide, conceal, cover, keep secret |
| Semantic Range | to hide physically, to conceal information, to keep something secret, to withhold from view or knowledge |
| Conceptual Significance | κρύπτω often contrasts hiddenness with revelation in biblical theology. What is concealed may later be revealed by God, highlighting themes of divine disclosure, human secrecy, and the tension between hidden and manifest realities. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect active indicative, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IAA3,,S,). The imperfect tense denotes continuous or repeated past action; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; indicative mood presents it as factual. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the core sense of κρύπτω as "to conceal" or "to hide." The imperfect active indicative form (3rd person singular) is reflected by "was concealing," indicating an ongoing or repeated action in past time performed by the subject. |
