Strong's Lexicon lot: Secret, secrecy, hidden, covertly Original Word: לָט Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: lot Pronunciation: lawt Phonetic Spelling: (lote) Definition: Secret, secrecy, hidden, covertly Meaning: a gum, ladanum Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to wrap closely or to conceal. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2927 (κρυπτός, kryptos) - meaning hidden or secret. - G613 (ἀποκρύπτω, apokrypto) - meaning to hide or conceal. Usage: The Hebrew word "lot" primarily conveys the idea of secrecy or something done in a hidden or concealed manner. It is often used in contexts where actions are performed covertly or without public knowledge. This term can imply both positive and negative connotations, depending on the context, such as the secrecy of God's plans or the hidden schemes of individuals. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of secrecy was significant in both religious and social contexts. Secrecy could be associated with divine mysteries, as well as with human actions that were meant to be concealed from others. The idea of hiddenness is also prevalent in wisdom literature, where the hidden things of God are contrasted with human understanding.
