Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: From the Greek words περί (perí, meaning "around") and βάλλω (bállō, meaning "to throw" or "to cast").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of clothing or being clothed in the Hebrew Bible is often represented by words such as לָבַשׁ (labash, Strong's Hebrew 3847), which means "to wear" or "to put on." Another related term is עָטָה (atah, Strong's Hebrew 5844), meaning "to wrap" or "to cover." These Hebrew terms share thematic similarities with περιβάλλω in their depiction of clothing and covering, both physically and metaphorically.

Usage: The term περιβάλλω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of putting on clothing or being clothed, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It appears in various contexts, including descriptions of physical clothing and spiritual or symbolic garments.

Context: The Greek verb περιβάλλω is a versatile term found in the New Testament, often associated with the act of clothing or dressing. It appears in several passages, illustrating both physical and metaphorical applications. For instance, in Matthew 27:28, it describes the soldiers placing a scarlet robe on Jesus: "They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him." Here, περιβάλλω conveys the physical act of clothing.

In a metaphorical sense, περιβάλλω is used to describe spiritual truths. In Revelation 3:5, it is written, "The one who overcomes will be clothed in white garments," symbolizing purity and victory. Similarly, in Revelation 19:8, the bride of Christ is described as being "given to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and pure," representing the righteous acts of the saints.

The term also appears in contexts emphasizing protection and preparation. In Ephesians 6:14, believers are instructed to "stand firm, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness." Here, περιβάλλω is part of the imagery of the armor of God, highlighting the importance of spiritual readiness and defense.

Overall, περιβάλλω serves as a vivid illustration of both the physical act of dressing and the deeper spiritual realities of being clothed in righteousness, purity, and divine protection.
