These Greek terms share a conceptual link with the Hebrew לוּט, as they both involve the idea of covering or enveloping, whether in a physical or metaphorical sense. The Greek terms are used in the New Testament to describe actions that involve wrapping or overshadowing, often with a sense of divine intervention or protection.

Usage: The verb לוּט (lut) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the action of wrapping or enveloping something. It is often used in a metaphorical sense to describe covering or concealing.

Context: The Hebrew root לוּט (lut) appears in the Old Testament with the primary meaning of wrapping or enveloping. This term is used to describe actions that involve covering or concealing, often in a protective or secretive manner. The concept of wrapping is not only physical but can also be metaphorical, indicating the act of hiding or concealing something from view. The usage of לוּט can be seen in various contexts, such as the wrapping of garments or the covering of objects. The term emphasizes the act of enclosing or surrounding something completely, often for the purpose of protection or secrecy.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of wrapping or enveloping is illustrated in various passages, though the specific Hebrew term לוּט may not always be directly translated as "wrap" in English. The idea of covering or concealing is a recurring theme in biblical narratives, symbolizing protection, mystery, or the hidden nature of divine actions.
