In Matthew 6:18, the dative singular neuter form occurs in the clause about the Father being “in the hidden” and seeing there, contrasted with appearing to humans while fasting. The APB renders the verse with “in the hidden,” confirming the setting as unseen by people.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Matthew 6:18, the APB presents the relevant clause twice as “in the hidden.” This wording is treated as the verse’s presentation of the clause rather than a precise lexical equivalence.
