In the New Testament, it is used to describe a literal veil, as well as a metaphorical veil that represents spiritual blindness or a lack of understanding.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Jewish culture, veils were commonly used by women as a part of their attire, symbolizing modesty and separation. In the religious context, the veil in the temple separated the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple, signifying the separation between God and humanity. The concept of a veil also carried metaphorical significance, representing spiritual blindness or the inability to perceive divine truth.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2572.htm">kaluptó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a covering<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>veil (4).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2571: κάλυμμα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κάλυμμα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">καλυμματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">καλύπτω</span>), <span class="accented">a veil, a covering</span>: <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/3-13.htm">2 Corinthians 3:13</a> (<a href="/interlinear/exodus/35-33.htm">Exodus 35:33</a>); (<span class="greek2">κάλυμμα</span>, or its equivalent, is suggested to the reader by the context in <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/11-4.htm">1 Corinthians 11:4</a> <span class="greek2">κατά</span> <span class="greek2">κεφαλῆς</span> <span class="greek2">ἔχων</span>; see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἔχω</span></span>, I. 1 b.); metaphorically, <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/3-14.htm">2 Corinthians 3:14-16</a>, of that which prevents a thing from being understood.
