It is often used in the context of clothing or garments, indicating the act of covering oneself or being covered. This term can also imply a sense of protection or concealment, as one might wrap themselves in a cloak for warmth or privacy.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, clothing was not only a practical necessity but also held symbolic significance. Garments could represent one's status, identity, or role within the community. The act of wrapping or covering oneself with a garment could symbolize taking on a new role or identity, or it could be an act of modesty and humility. In a broader sense, the concept of covering is deeply embedded in the Hebrew understanding of God's protection and provision, as seen in various biblical metaphors.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) from <a href="/hebrew/3272.htm">yaet</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>counsel<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>discretion (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>counsel <p>(Aramaic) from <a href="/hebrew/3272.htm">y'at,</a>; prudence -- counsel. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/3272.htm">y'at,</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>עֵטָ֣א עטא ‘ê·ṭā ‘êṭā eTa<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/daniel/2-14.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 2:14</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/2.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">דָּנִיֵּ֗אל הֲתִיב֙ <b> עֵטָ֣א </b> וּטְעֵ֔ם לְאַרְי֕וֹךְ</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/2.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> replied <span class="itali">with discretion</span> and discernment<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/2.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> answered <span class="itali">with counsel</span> and wisdom<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/2-14.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Daniel replied <span class="itali">discretion</span> and discernment to Arioch<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5843.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5843.htm">Strong's Hebrew 5843<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/eta_5843.htm">‘ê·ṭā — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/5842.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="5842"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="5842" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/5844.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="5844"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="5844" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
