<p> <em> Sôd </em> (סוֹד, Strong'S #5475), “secret or confidential plan(s); secret or confidential talk; secret; council; gathering; circle.” This noun occurs 21 times in biblical Hebrew. </p> <p> <em> Sôd </em> means, first, “confidential talk”: “Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked …” (Ps. 64:2). In Prov. 15:22 the word refers to plans which one makes on one’s own and before they are shared by others: “Without counsel [self-made] purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they [succeed].” Sometimes the word signifies simply a talk about something that should be kept confidential: “Debate thy cause with thy neighbor himself; and discover not a secret to another” (Prov. 25:9). </p> <p> Second, the word represents a group of intimates with whom one shares confidential matters: “O my soul, come not thou into their [Simeon’s and Levi’s] secret; unto their assembly, mine honor, be not thou united …” (Gen. 49:6—the first occurrence of the word). Jer. 6:11 speaks of the “assembly [informal but still sharing confidential matters] of young men together.” To “have sweet counsel” is to be in a group where everyone both shares and rejoices in what is being discussed and/or done (Ps. 55:14). </p> | <p> <em> Sôd </em> ( '''''סוֹד''''' , Strong'S #5475), “secret or confidential plan(s); secret or confidential talk; secret; council; gathering; circle.” This noun occurs 21 times in biblical Hebrew. </p> <p> <em> Sôd </em> means, first, “confidential talk”: “Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked …” (Ps. 64:2).

<p> ''''' sē´kret ''''' : In Ezekiel 7:22 , English [[Versions]] of the Bible has "secret place" for (צפן , <i> '''''cāphan''''' </i> ), "hide," "treasure." A correct translation is, "They shall profane my <i> cherished </i> place" (Jerusalem), and there is no reference to the [[Holy]] of Holies. The other uses of "secret" in the Revised Version (British and American) are obvious, but Revised Version's corrections of the King James Version in Judges 13:18; 1 Samuel 5:9; Job 15:11 should be noted. </p> | <p> ''''' sē´kret ''''' : In Ezekiel 7:22 , English [[Versions]] of the Bible has "secret place" for (צפן , <i> ''''' cāphan ''''' </i> ), "hide," "treasure."
