SIBI-P1 H5643-02
in the hidden-place
| Root | סתר (s-t-r) |
| Core Meanings | to hide, conceal, cover, keep secret |
| Semantic Range | secret place, concealment, hiding place, covert shelter, privacy, protection, secrecy (literal or figurative) |
| Conceptual Significance | Often used of concealed spaces of protection or secrecy, סֵתֶר can denote both divine shelter (a place of refuge under YHWH’s care) and hidden wrongdoing. It conveys the biblical tension between what is concealed from human sight and what remains fully visible to God. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב ("in") prefixed to noun with assimilated definite article; common masculine singular absolute form of סֵתֶר. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun סֵתֶר derives from the root סתר, meaning "to hide" or "to conceal." The morphology (preposition ב + definite article + masculine singular noun absolute) yields "in the hidden-place," preserving both the locative sense of ב ("in") and the definite, singular form of the noun rooted in concealment. |
