It conveys the idea of something being concealed or not being perceived by others. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where actions or events occur without the awareness of those involved.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of things being hidden or escaping notice was often associated with the limitations of human perception and understanding. The idea that certain truths or actions could remain concealed was a common theme in philosophical and religious thought, reflecting the belief that human knowledge is inherently limited.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from a prim. root lath-<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to escape notice<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>escape...notice (2), escape notice (1), escaped notice (1), escapes...notice (1), without knowing (1).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2990: λανθάνω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">λανθάνω</span></span> (lengthened form of <span class="greek2">λήθω</span>); 2 aorist <span class="greek2">ἔλαθόν</span>, (whence Latin<span class="latin">latere</span>); the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> several times for <span class="hebrew">נֶעְלַם</span>, etc.; (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down); <span class="accented">to be hidden</span>: <a href="/interlinear/mark/7-24.htm">Mark 7:24</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-47.htm">Luke 8:47</a>; <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <span class="accented">to be hidden from one,</span> <a href="/interlinear/acts/26-26.htm">Acts 26:26</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_peter/3-5.htm">2 Peter 3:5</a> (on which see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">θέλω</span></span>, 1 under the end), 8; accusative to the well-known classic usage, joined in a finite form to a participle equivalent to <span class="accented">secretly, unawares, without knowing</span> (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Matthiae</span>, § 552 <span class="greek2">β</span>.; <span class="abbreviation">Passow</span>, under the word, ii., p. 18{b}; (Liddell and Scott, under the word, A. 2); <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, § 54, 4; (<span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, § 144, 14)): <span class="greek2">ἔλαθόν</span> <span class="greek2">ξενίσαντες</span>, have unawares entertained, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/13-2.htm">Hebrews 13:2</a>.
