Strong's Lexicon akatakaluptos: Uncovered, unveiled, bare Original Word: ἀκατακάλυπτος Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-, "not") and κατακαλύπτω (katakaluptō, "to cover, to veil") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "akatakaluptos," the concept of covering or uncovering is present in Hebrew culture and language, often associated with terms like "גָּלָה" (galah, "to uncover, reveal") and "כָּסָה" (kasah, "to cover"). Usage: The term "akatakaluptos" is used in the New Testament to describe something that is not covered or veiled. It is often used in the context of head coverings, particularly in discussions about appropriate attire and behavior during worship or prayer. The word implies a state of being exposed or not having a covering that is culturally or religiously expected. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, head coverings were a significant cultural symbol, often associated with modesty, respect, and social status. For women, wearing a head covering in public or during religious activities was a sign of propriety and submission. In Jewish tradition, head coverings also held religious significance. The early Christian communities, influenced by both Jewish and Greco-Roman customs, grappled with these cultural norms, leading to discussions about appropriate practices for worship.
