Strong's Lexicon mekasseh: Covering, cover Original Word: מְכַסֶּה Word Origin: From the root verb כָּסָה (kasah), meaning "to cover" or "to conceal." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4018 περιβόλαιον (peribolaion) - a covering, cloak - G1942 ἐπισκίασις (episkiasis) - overshadowing, covering Usage: The Hebrew word "mekasseh" generally refers to a covering or something that conceals or protects. It is used in various contexts in the Old Testament, often related to physical coverings such as garments, veils, or other protective layers. The term can also be metaphorical, indicating a form of protection or concealment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, coverings were significant for both practical and symbolic reasons. Practically, coverings provided protection from the elements, such as the sun and rain. Symbolically, coverings could represent modesty, privacy, or divine protection. The concept of covering is also deeply embedded in the sacrificial system, where the blood of sacrifices was seen as a covering for sin.
