Strong's Lexicon atah: To wrap, cover, envelop Original Word: עָטָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "atah," the concept of covering or clothing can be related to Greek words such as ἐνδύω (enduo - G1746), meaning "to clothe" or "to put on." Usage: The Hebrew verb "atah" primarily means to wrap or cover, often used in the context of clothing or garments. It conveys the idea of enveloping or concealing something, whether physically or metaphorically. This term can also imply protection or preparation, as one might wrap oneself in a garment for warmth or defense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, clothing was not only a practical necessity but also held symbolic significance. Garments could represent status, identity, and even spiritual states. The act of wrapping or covering oneself was often associated with preparation for a journey, a change in status, or a response to a significant event. In a broader sense, the concept of covering is deeply embedded in the Hebrew understanding of God's protection and provision.
