It is used in the context of covering or keeping something out of sight, often implying protection or secrecy. The term can be applied both in a literal sense, such as hiding physical objects, and in a metaphorical sense, such as concealing emotions or intentions.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of hiding or concealing was significant in both daily life and religious practice. The act of hiding could be associated with protection, as in hiding from danger or enemies, or with shame and guilt, as in hiding one's sins. The idea of God as a refuge, a place to hide, is a recurring theme in the Hebrew Scriptures, reflecting the cultural understanding of divine protection and sanctuary.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to withdraw, hide<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>conceal (1), hide (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">חָבָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>withdraw, hide</b></font>, compare <font class="hebrew2">חבא</font>;
