It is used in contexts where understanding is granted by divine revelation rather than human insight.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, secrets or mysteries were often associated with divine knowledge or wisdom that was beyond human comprehension. The concept of "raz" reflects the belief that certain truths are hidden and can only be disclosed by God. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of God as the revealer of mysteries, as seen in the wisdom literature and prophetic writings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
