         DefinitionShort: (figurative extension of meaning of {L:βαθύς}[a] ‘deep,’ {D:81.10}) the content of knowledge which is very difficult to know

         Glosses: ['deep secrets', 'secrets difficult to find out about']

         Comments: Only rarely can one use a literal rendering of τὰ βαθέα or τὰ βάθη in referring to secrets. In some instances it may be possible to use an expression such as ‘far away’ or ‘distant,’ and in other cases one can use expressions meaning ‘hard’ or ‘difficult.’ More often than not, however, the closest equivalent of τὰ βαθέα and τὰ βάθη in this type of context is either an expression of degree using a term such as ‘very’ (for example, ‘that which is very secret’) or an expression implying ‘that which is hidden’ or ‘that which is difficult to discover.’
