It conveys the idea of intertwining or interlacing materials, often in the context of creating a protective or decorative covering. This term is used metaphorically in the Bible to describe the intricate and intentional work of God in creation and in the lives of His people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, weaving and covering were significant activities, both practically and symbolically. Weaving was a common domestic task, essential for creating garments, tents, and other necessary items. Symbolically, weaving could represent the complexity and interconnectedness of life, as well as the protective and providential care of God. The act of covering was also associated with protection, modesty, and sanctity.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to spread or lay (something over)<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cover (1), covered* (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">קָרַם</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>spread or lay something over</b></font> (Late Hebrew <em>id. form a crust</em>, so Hiph`il <font class="hebrew2">יקרים על</font> Ecclus 43:20; Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">קְרַם</font>, <img src="/bdbgif/bdb090107.gif">, <em>incrust, overlay</em>); — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>Qal</b></font> <em>Perfect</em>1singular <font class="hebrew2">וְקָרַמְתִּ֫י עֲלֵיכֶם עוֺר</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/37-6.htm">Ezekiel 37:6</a> <em>I will spread skin over you</em> (i.e. the dry bones); <em>Imperfect</em>3masculine singular <font class="hebrew2">וַיִּקְרַם עֲלֵיהֶם עוֺר</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/37-8.htm">Ezekiel 37:8</a> (so Gi van d.
