Strong's Lexicon talal: To cover, overshadow, protect Original Word: תָּלַל Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that captures a similar concept of overshadowing or covering is Strong's Greek 1982, ἐπισκιάζω (episkiazō), which is used in the New Testament to describe the overshadowing presence of God, such as in Luke 1:35, where the Holy Spirit overshadows Mary. Usage: The Hebrew verb "talal" primarily conveys the idea of covering or overshadowing, often in a protective or sheltering sense. It is used to describe the action of providing shade or a canopy, symbolizing protection and divine care. This term can also imply a sense of enveloping or surrounding, offering a sense of security and refuge. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of shade or covering was significant due to the harsh and arid climate. Shade was a valuable commodity, providing relief from the sun's intense heat. Thus, the imagery of being overshadowed or covered carried connotations of safety, rest, and divine provision. In the biblical narrative, God's protective presence is often depicted using such imagery, emphasizing His role as a refuge and shield for His people.
