ta.a.lum.mah denotes concealed matters, including wisdom’s hidden content and what is brought into view.

The attested use concerns concealed matters: Job 11:6 places them with wisdom, while Job 28:11 describes a hidden thing brought into light; Psalm 44:22 supplies a plural construct form whose specific contribution is not isolated by the translation.

  1. Concealed matters · dominant

    In Job 11:6, the plural construct form occurs in the clause the APB renders “the secrets of wisdom,” presenting concealed content in connection with wisdom. In Job 28:11, the singular form occurs where the APB renders a “hidden thing” brought forth as light. Psalm 44:22 also has a plural construct form, but the APB’s rendering does not make this term’s particular contribution clear.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant clauses as “the secrets of wisdom” in Job 11:6 and “the hidden thing” in Job 28:11. Its wording in Psalm 44:22 does not visibly isolate the term.
