SIBI-P1 H6845-09
he will hide away
| Root | צפן (ts-p-n) |
| Core Meanings | to hide, conceal, cover, store up, reserve, treasure, protect |
| Semantic Range | to hide or conceal something physically; to store up or treasure; to reserve for later; to protect by concealment; to lurk secretly; figuratively, to keep knowledge or plans hidden |
| Conceptual Significance | צפן often conveys the idea of something precious or strategic being kept out of sight—whether material treasure, divine wisdom, or protective care. In biblical theology, what is "hidden away" may imply both human secrecy and YHWH’s safeguarding or reserving of blessing, judgment, or wisdom for the proper time. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Qal stem, imperfect (yiqtol) 3rd masculine singular. The Qal stem conveys the simple, active sense of the root: to hide or conceal. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal imperfect 3rd masculine singular form expresses a simple active action performed by "he." Rendering it as "he will hide away" preserves the core idea of concealment inherent in the root צפן while reflecting the masculine singular subject and the imperfect (incomplete/future) aspect. |
