SIBI-P1 H5641-18
he will hide himself
| Root | סתר (s-t-r) |
| Core Meanings | covering, concealment, hiding, secrecy, withdrawal |
| Semantic Range | to be hidden, be concealed, hide oneself, remain unseen, be kept secret, withdraw from sight or presence |
| Conceptual Significance | The concept of hiding in the Hebrew Bible often relates to divine concealment, human avoidance, or protection. It can describe God hiding His face (withdrawal of favor), individuals seeking refuge, or the concealment of plans and motives, highlighting themes of revelation versus secrecy. |
| Morphological Notes | Verb, Niphal stem (reflexive/passive), imperfect (yiqtol), 3rd masculine singular. The doubling (dagesh) reflects assimilation characteristic of the Niphal imperfect form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The root סתר conveys the act of covering or concealing. In the Niphal stem, the verb is passive or reflexive; thus "hide himself" reflects the reflexive nuance. The imperfect 3rd masculine singular form is preserved with "he will," maintaining person, gender, and number. |
