Strong's Lexicon kataskiazó: To overshadow, to cast a shadow upon Original Word: κατασκιάζω Word Origin: From the Greek words κατά (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and σκιά (skia, meaning "shadow" or "shade"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of overshadowing is צֵל (tsel, Strong's H6738), which means "shadow" or "shade." Usage: The verb κατασκιάζω is used to describe the act of overshadowing or casting a shadow. In the New Testament, it often conveys the idea of divine presence or protection, as when a cloud or shadow signifies God's glory or presence. It can also imply a covering or enveloping, suggesting a sense of intimacy or closeness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, shadows were often associated with protection and covering. The imagery of a shadow was used to describe the presence of deities or divine beings. In the Jewish tradition, the concept of God's presence being like a shadow is seen in the Old Testament, where God's glory is often depicted as a cloud or overshadowing presence, such as in the tabernacle or the temple.
