Exegetical Meaning
Sod refers to the intimate counsel shared in a close circle — the inner circle of trusted friends, and at its highest, the divine council. The prophets claim to have stood in the sod of the LORD (Jer 23:18, 22; Amos 3:7) — to have been brought into God's counsel chamber and heard his decrees. Psalm 25:14 says God reveals his sod to those who fear him. This concept parallels the NT mysterion — secrets disclosed only to those initiated by God's own revelation.
