Hide, Hid, Hidden
Hide, Hid, Hidden
“to cover, conceal, keep secret” (Eng., “crypt,” “cryptic,” etc.), is used (a) in its physical significance, e.g., Mat 5:14; Mat 13:44; Mat 25:18 (some mss. have No. 2); (b) metaphorically, e.g., Mat 11:25 (some mss. have No. 2 here); Mat 13:35, RV, “(things) hidden;” AV, “(things) which have been kept secret;” Luk 18:34; Luk 19:42; Joh 19:38, “secretly.” See SECRET.
“to conceal from, to keep secret” (apo, “from,” and No. 1), is used metaphorically, in Luk 10:21, of truths “hidden” from the wise and prudent and revealed to babes; 1Co 2:7, of God’s wisdom; Eph 3:9, of the mystery of the unsearchable riches of Christ, revealed through the Gospel; Col 1:26, of the mystery associated with the preceding.
“to hide in anything” (en, “in,” and No. 1), is used in Mat 13:33, of leaven “hidden” in meal.
signifies “to hide by placing something around, to conceal entirely, to keep hidden” (peri, “around,” used intensively, and No. 1), Luk 1:24.
signifies “to cover, conceal,” so that no trace of it can be seen (hence somewhat distinct from No. 1): it is not translated “to hide” in the RV; in 2Co 4:3 it is rendered “veiled,” suitably continuing the subject of 3:13-18; in Jam 5:20, “shall hide,” AV (RV, “shall cover”). See COVER.
lit., “to cover with a veil,” AV, “hid,” in Luk 9:45, “it was veiled from them;” see CONCEAL.
“to escape notice, to be hidden from,” is rendered “(could not) be hid” in Mar 7:24, of Christ; “was (not) hid,” Luk 8:47, of the woman with the issue of blood; “is hidden,” Act 26:26, of the facts concerning Christ; the sentence might be rendered “none of these things has escaped the king’s notice.” See FORGET, UNAWARES.
akin to A, No.. 1, “hidden, secret,” is translated “hid” in Mat 10:26; Mar 4:22; Luk 8:17, RV, for AV, “secret;” Luk 12:2 (last part); in 1Co 4:5, “hidden (things of darkness);” 2Co 4:2, “hidden (things of shame);” 1Pe 3:4, “hidden (man of the heart).” See INWARDLY, SECRET.
“hidden away from” (corresponding to A, No. 2; cp. Eng., “apocryphal”), is translated, “made (AV, kept) secret,” in Mar 4:22; in Luk 8:17, RV, “secret,” for AV, “hid;” in Col 2:3, RV, “hidden,” AV, “hid.” See SECRET.
