Strong's Lexicon katakaluptó: To cover, to veil Original Word: κατακαλύπτω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: katakaluptó Pronunciation: kat-ak-al-OOP-to Phonetic Spelling: (kat-ak-al-oop'-to) Definition: I veil, cover the head. Meaning: To cover, to veil, to hide, or to conceal. Word Origin: From the Greek preposition "κατά" (kata, meaning "down" or "against") and the verb "καλύπτω" (kalyptō, meaning "to cover" or "to veil"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of covering or veiling is also present in the Hebrew Scriptures, with corresponding terms such as: • Strong's Hebrew 3680: כָּסָה (kasah) – to cover, conceal, or hide. • Strong's Hebrew 6809: צָעִיף (tsa'iph) – a veil or a wrap, often used in the context of a woman's garment. These Hebrew terms similarly convey the idea of covering or concealing, often with implications of modesty, protection, or ritual significance. Usage: The verb κατακαλύπτω is used in the New Testament to describe the act of covering or veiling, particularly in the context of head coverings. Context: The term κατακαλύπτω appears in the New Testament in the context of discussions about head coverings, specifically in 1 Corinthians 11. The Apostle Paul addresses the cultural and theological implications of head coverings in worship settings. In 1 Corinthians 11:6, Paul writes, "For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head." Here, κατακαλύπτω is used to describe the act of a woman covering her head as a sign of authority and propriety during prayer or prophesying. The use of κατακαλύπτω in this passage reflects the cultural norms of the time, where head coverings were a symbol of modesty and respect. The act of covering one's head was seen as an outward expression of an inward attitude of submission and reverence, particularly in a worship setting. The discussion in 1 Corinthians 11 highlights the importance of understanding cultural symbols and their theological significance within the early Christian communities. The concept of covering or veiling is not unique to the New Testament but is also found in various cultural and religious practices throughout history. In the biblical context, the act of covering can symbolize protection, modesty, and a recognition of divine order.
