ⓐ of things and persons, money Mt 25:18 (cp. vs. 25 in 2 below); a treasure that has been found 13:44b (cp. vs. 44a in 2 below). κ. τινὰ ἀπὸ προσώπου τινός Rv 6:16. Fig. of the key of knowledge Lk 11:52 v.l. Pass. (Philo, Det. Pot. Ins. 128 τὰ ἀποκείμενα ἐν σκότῳ κέκρυπται; Iren. 1, 18, 1 [Harv.

Of Moses, who escaped detection Hb 11:23. τὸ μάννα τὸ κεκρυμμένον the hidden manna, kept fr. human eyes because it is laid up in heaven Rv 2:17. This is also the place for the pass. κρυβῆναι used in an act. sense hide (Gen 3:8, 10; Judg 9:5; 1 Km 13:6; 14:11; Job 24:4; 29:8; JosAs 6:3 al.; ApcEsdr; ApcMos) Ἰησοῦς ἐκρύβη J 8:59. ἐκρύβη ἀπʼ αὐτῶν 12:36.—ποῦ κρυβήσομαι ἀπὸ τοῦ προσώπου σου; 1 Cl 28:3.

Of the moral conduct of a person κρυβῆναι οὐ δύνανται 1 Ti 5:25 (Diod S 14, 1, 3 ἀδυνατεῖ κρύπτειν τὴν ἄγνοιαν; cp. Ath., R. 19 p. 71, 30).—κεκρυμμένα hidden, unknown things (Philo, Spec. Leg. 3, 61; Tat. 13, 3 τὸ κεκρυμμένον) Mt 13:35. μαθητὴς κεκρυμμένος a secret disciple J 19:38 (τὸ κεκρυμμένον μυστήριον Hippol., Ref. 5, 8, 7).—W. the result of hiding someth. fr. view (Hipponax [VI B.C.] 25 D. ἀσκέρηισι τοὺς πόδας δασείηισιν ἔκρυψας=you have put my feet in furlined shoes) put (in), mix (in) τὶ εἴς τι someth. in someth. (ζύμην) γυνὴ ἔκρυψεν εἰς ἀλεύρου σάτα τρία Lk 13:21 v.l. (s. ἐγκρύπτω).

ⓒ cause to disappear, pass. ἵνα ἀνομία πολλῶν ἐν δικαίῳ ἑνὶ κρυβῇ that the lawlessness of so many should be made to disappear in one who is righteous Dg 9:5.

ⓓ hide in a safe place ἀπὸ μάστιγος γλώσσης σε κρύψει he will hide you from the scourge of a tongue 1 Cl 56:10 (Job 5:21). Pass. (ParJer 9:6 ᾧ πᾶσα κτίσις κέκρυπται ἐν αὐτῷ) ἡ ζωὴ ὑμῶν κέκρυπται σὺν τῷ Χριστῷ ἐν τῷ θεῷ Col 3:3.—If mention is made of the place to which persons or things are brought to hide them fr. view, the word usually means

② to keep something from being divulged or discovered, conceal, hide of someth. put in a specific place κ. τι ἐν τῇ γῇ hide someth. in the earth (Apollon. Rhod. 4, 480 κρ. τι ἐν γαίῃ) Mt 25:25 (cp. vs. 18 in 1a above); likew. in pass. θησαυρὸς κεκρυμμένος ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ a treasure hidden in a field 13:44a (cp. vs. 44b in 1a above). Cp. Ac 7:24 D (cp. ἡ γῆ οὖν κεκρυμμένη ὑπὸ τῶν ὑδάτων=‘totally inundated’ Did., Gen. 31, 2). Of living persons (Paus. 9, 19, 1) Ῥαὰβ αὐτοὺς ἔκρυψεν εἰς τὸ ὑπερῷον ὑπὸ τὴν λινοκαλάμην Rahab concealed them in the upper room under the flax 1 Cl 12:3 (Diod S 4, 33, 9 κ. εἰς; Ps.-Apollod. 1, 4, 1, 4 [=p. 12 ln. 1] and schol. on Apollon. Rhod. 4, 532, 33 ὑπὸ γῆν ἔκρυψε).—κρύπτειν ἑαυτόν hide oneself (En 10:2 κρύψον σεαυτόν; Nicander in Anton. Lib. 28, 3) ἀπό τινος fr. someone (Mary) ἔκρυβεν αὑτὴν ἀπὸ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ (M.) went into hinding from the people of Israel i.e. she did not go out in public GJs 12:3 (cp. Lk 1:24). εἴς τι in someth. ἔκρυψαν ἑαυτοὺς εἰς τὰ σπήλαια they hid themselves in the caves (Diod, S. 4, 12, 2 ἔκρυψεν ἑαυτὸν εἰς πίθον) Rv 6:15.—ἐκρυβόμεθα we remained in hiding GPt 7:26 (Δαυίδ … ἐκρύβετο ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ Iren. 1, 18, 4 [Harv.

The whole law (as the expr. εἴ τι ἑτέρα ἐντολή indicates not limited to a narrow list of commandments), acc. to Ro 13:9. In what is prob. a play on words (s. 2a and b), Gal 5:14 (s. 2a below) is summed up in the λόγος as expressed in Lev 19:18.—That which God has created ἁγιάζεται διὰ λόγου θεοῦ 1 Ti 4:5; in line w. the context, this hardly refers to God’s creative word (so SibOr 3, 20; PtK 2; πάντα γὰρ λόγῳ ποιήσας ὁ θεός Theoph.

Of their hearers it is said: τὸν λ. τοῦ θεοῦ ἀκούειν Ac 13:7; δέχεσθαι 8:14; 11:1. Of the λ. τοῦ θεοῦ itself we read: ηὔξανεν Ac 6:7; 12:24; 19:20; οὐ δέδεται 2 Ti 2:9.
