Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that captures a similar sense of surrounding or enclosing might be found in words like "περιβάλλω" (periballō), which means to put around or clothe, and "περιφράσσω" (periphrassō), meaning to fence around or enclose.

Usage: The Hebrew verb "chadar" primarily conveys the action of surrounding or enclosing something. It is often used in contexts where something is being enveloped or encircled, either physically or metaphorically. This term can imply protection, concealment, or the act of being hidden from view.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of being surrounded or enclosed carried significant implications. It could denote safety and security, as in the protection provided by city walls or the embrace of a family. Conversely, it could also imply being hidden or cut off, reflecting the dual nature of enclosures as both protective and isolating. The use of "chadar" in the Hebrew Bible often reflects these cultural understandings, emphasizing God's protective nature or the hidden aspects of His plans.
