Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From the Greek words περί (peri, meaning "around" or "about") and καλύπτω (kalyptō, meaning "to cover" or "to conceal").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H3680 כָּסָה (kasah): To cover, conceal, or hide. This Hebrew term is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe covering sins, as in Psalm 32:1, "Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered."
• H5641 סָתַר (sathar): To hide or conceal. This term is used in contexts where hiding or protection is implied, such as in Psalm 27:5, "For in the day of trouble He will hide me in His shelter; He will conceal me under the cover of His tent."

These Hebrew terms reflect similar themes of covering and concealment found in the Greek περικαλύπτω, illustrating a continuity of thought regarding divine protection and the covering of sin throughout the biblical narrative.

Usage: The verb περικαλύπτω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of covering or concealing something entirely. It conveys the idea of enveloping or veiling an object or person, often implying protection or obscuring from view.

Context: The term περικαλύπτω appears in the New Testament in contexts where complete covering or concealment is emphasized. It is used to describe actions that involve enveloping or veiling, often with a sense of protection or hiding. This term can be found in passages where physical covering is described, as well as metaphorical uses where spiritual or emotional concealment is implied.

In the Berean Standard Bible, περικαλύπτω is used in Luke 23:30: "Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’" Here, the term is used metaphorically to express a desire for concealment from impending judgment or calamity. The imagery of being covered by mountains and hills underscores the intensity of the desire to be hidden or protected from the wrath to come.

The concept of covering in biblical literature often carries theological significance, symbolizing God's protection, the hiding of sin, or the veiling of divine glory. In the Old Testament, similar ideas are conveyed through Hebrew terms that describe covering or concealing, often in the context of atonement or divine presence.
