Exegesis
The generic noun ʾîš {אִ֧ישׁ | ʾîš} ‘a person’ serves as the subject, and the construct phrase ba-miṣ-ṭā-rîm {בַּמִּסְתָּרִים | ba-miṣ-ṭā-rîm} ‘in hidden places’ specifies the location.
In context — Jeremiah 23:24
“When someone conceals himself in hidden places, can I fail to perceive him?” declares the LORD . “Am I not the one who fills the heavens and the earth?” declares the LORD.
