Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the preposition ἐν (en, meaning "in" or "on") and the verb τυλίσσω (tylissō, meaning "to wrap" or "to roll").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐντυλίσσω, similar concepts of wrapping or binding can be found in Hebrew words such as חָבַשׁ (chavash, Strong's Hebrew 2280), which means "to bind" or "to wrap," often used in the context of bandaging wounds or preparing a body for burial. Another related term is קָפַל (qafal, Strong's Hebrew 3717), meaning "to fold" or "to double," which can also convey the idea of wrapping or folding cloths.

Usage: The verb ἐντυλίσσω is used in the New Testament to describe the action of wrapping or folding, particularly in the context of burial cloths.

Context: The Greek verb ἐντυλίσσω appears in the New Testament in contexts related to the preparation of a body for burial. It conveys the action of wrapping or folding cloths around a body, a practice that was customary in Jewish burial traditions. This term is notably used in the Gospel accounts of Jesus' burial, where it describes the linen cloths used to wrap His body.

In the Berean Standard Bible, ἐντυλίσσω is found in the following passages:

• Matthew 27:59 (BSB): "So Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,"
Here, Joseph of Arimathea wraps Jesus' body in a clean linen cloth, following the Jewish burial customs of the time. The use of ἐντυλίσσω emphasizes the care and respect given to the body in preparation for burial.

• Luke 23:53 (BSB): "Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and placed it in a tomb cut into the rock, where no one had yet been laid."
This passage similarly describes the wrapping of Jesus' body in linen before placing it in the tomb. The act of wrapping is an integral part of the burial process, signifying both the finality of death and the hope of resurrection.

The use of ἐντυλίσσω in these contexts highlights the cultural and religious significance of burial practices in the ancient Jewish world. It underscores the respect and honor given to the deceased, as well as the anticipation of future resurrection, a theme central to Christian theology.
