Usage: The word חִתּוּל is used in the context of wrapping or binding, often associated with bandages or swaddling clothes. It is a noun that describes the material used for wrapping.

Context: The Hebrew term חִתּוּל (ḥittul) appears in the context of wrapping or binding, typically in medical or nurturing scenarios. In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of swathing was significant in both medical and domestic settings. Bandages were essential for treating wounds, while swaddling clothes were used for infants, symbolizing care and protection. The concept of wrapping is deeply rooted in the cultural practices of the time, reflecting a sense of security and healing. The term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but its implications are understood through related practices and the root word's meaning. The act of swathing, whether for healing or nurturing, underscores the importance of care and protection in biblical narratives.
