κρύπτω

Strong’s: G2928

Associated OET lemmas: κρύπτω

Notes: The series of meanings in 28.79: καλύπτω / 28.79: κρύπτω / 28.79: περικρύβω differs significantly from the meaning of ἐγκρύπτω in 85.50: ἐγκρύπτω. In 28.79: καλύπτω / 28.79: κρύπτω / 28.79: περικρύβω the focus in concealment is upon preventing knowledge about something, while in 85.50: ἐγκρύπτω the concealment focuses upon something being in a place where it is no longer visible.
