This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe a covering, particularly in 1 Corinthians 11:15, where it discusses a woman's hair as a covering. The connection between מִסְפָחָה and περιβόλαιον highlights the continuity of the cultural practice of veiling across both the Hebrew and Greek scriptures. Usage: The term מִסְפָחָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a type of veil or covering. It is a noun that describes an item used for covering, often associated with garments or attire. Context: מִסְפָחָה (mispaḥah) appears in the context of ancient Hebrew culture as a garment accessory, specifically a veil. The veil served both practical and symbolic purposes, providing modesty and protection from the elements. In biblical times, veils were commonly worn by women as a sign of modesty and social status. The use of veils is noted in various cultural and religious practices throughout the ancient Near East. The מִסְפָחָה, as a specific type of veil, would have been an integral part of the attire, reflecting the customs and traditions of the time. The concept of veiling is also seen in other biblical passages, where it often carries connotations of honor, dignity, and sometimes mourning.
