However, the concept of head coverings can be related to Greek terms used in the New Testament, such as "κάλυμμα" (kalumma • Strong's Greek 2571), which refers to a covering or veil. Usage: The term "אֲפֵר" is used in the context of describing a specific type of headgear, often associated with priestly or ceremonial attire. Context: The Hebrew word "אֲפֵר" (afer) refers to a turban, a traditional head covering that was commonly worn in ancient Near Eastern cultures. In the biblical context, turbans were often part of the attire for priests and individuals of high status, symbolizing dignity and honor. The turban served both a practical and symbolic purpose, providing protection from the sun while also signifying the wearer's role and status within the community. The use of the turban in biblical times is indicative of the cultural and religious practices of the Israelites, reflecting their customs and societal structures. The specific design and material of the turban could vary, but it was generally a cloth wound around the head in a specific manner.
