Strong's Lexicon sugkaluptó: To cover up, to conceal, to hide together Original Word: συγκαλύπτω Word Origin: From the Greek prefix "σύν" (sun), meaning "with" or "together," and "καλύπτω" (kaluptó), meaning "to cover" or "to conceal." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of covering or concealing is כָּסָה (kasah), Strong's Hebrew #3680, which means to cover, conceal, or hide. Usage: The verb "sugkaluptó" is used in the New Testament to describe the act of covering or concealing something, often in a metaphorical sense. It implies a deliberate action to hide or obscure something from view. This term can be used in both a literal and figurative context, such as covering physical objects or concealing truths or intentions. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of covering or concealing was often associated with protection, modesty, or secrecy. In a biblical context, the act of covering can have both positive and negative connotations. Positively, it can refer to the protection or forgiveness of sins, as seen in the concept of atonement. Negatively, it can imply deceit or the hiding of truth, which is contrary to the values of transparency and honesty upheld in Christian teachings.
