Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἐπί (epi, meaning "upon" or "over") and καλύπτω (kaluptó, meaning "to cover" or "to conceal").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of covering is כָּסָה (kasah), which also means to cover or conceal. This term is used in the Old Testament in contexts such as the covering of sins (Psalm 32:1).

Usage: The verb ἐπικαλύπτω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of covering or concealing something. It implies a deliberate action to hide or obscure an object or truth. This term can be used both in a literal sense, such as covering a physical object, and in a metaphorical sense, such as concealing information or intentions.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Greco-Roman world, covering or concealing was a common practice in various contexts, from everyday life to religious rituals. Covering could signify protection, modesty, or secrecy. In Jewish culture, covering was also significant, as seen in the use of veils and coverings in the Tabernacle and Temple, symbolizing the separation between the holy and the profane.
