It implies a thorough or comprehensive covering, often with the intent of protection or hiding from view. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe spiritual or moral concealment.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, covering or concealing was often associated with protection, modesty, or secrecy.
