In a biblical context, it often refers to the act of hiding or veiling something from view, whether physically or metaphorically. This term can be used to describe the concealment of truth, the covering of sins, or the veiling of spiritual realities.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of covering or concealing was significant in both religious and social contexts. Veils were commonly used in religious rituals to separate the sacred from the profane, and the act of covering could symbolize protection, modesty, or secrecy. In the biblical context, covering is often associated with God's protection and the atonement of sins, as seen in the sacrificial system of the Old Testament.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>3871</b> <i>parakalýptō</i> (from <a href="/greek/3844.htm">3844</a> <i>/pará</i>, "<i>from</i> close-beside" and <a href="/greek/2572.htm">2572</a> <i>/kalýptō</i>, "hide") – properly, hidden close-beside, out of sight;
