Strong's Lexicon tsippuy: Overlay, covering Original Word: צִפּוּי Word Origin: From the root צָפָה (tsaphah), meaning "to overlay" or "to cover." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of overlaying or covering can be related to Greek terms like ἐπιχρύσσω (epichrysso), meaning "to gild" or "to overlay with gold." Usage: The term "tsippuy" refers to a covering or overlay, often used in the context of materials like gold or silver that are used to cover or adorn objects, particularly in the construction of sacred items or places. It signifies the act of overlaying or the material used for such a purpose. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the use of overlays was common in the construction of the Tabernacle and the Temple. Gold overlays were particularly significant, symbolizing purity, divinity, and the glory of God. The use of precious metals in religious artifacts underscored the sacredness and the divine presence associated with these objects. The practice of overlaying was not only functional but also symbolic, representing the beauty and holiness of God's dwelling place among His people.
