It is used in the New Testament to describe both physical covering and metaphorical hiding or veiling. This can refer to covering an object, concealing information, or hiding one's actions or intentions.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Greek world, the concept of covering or concealing was significant in both everyday life and religious practices. Covering could refer to physical objects, such as clothing or shelter, and also to more abstract concepts like truth or divine mysteries. In Jewish culture, the idea of covering was also present in the context of the tabernacle and temple, where certain areas were veiled to signify holiness and separation from the common.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2572</b> <i>kalýptō</i> – properly, to cover; (figuratively) keep secret, hidden; "covered over" (concealed).</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>akin to kalubé (hut, cabin)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to cover<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>being covered (1), concealed (1), cover (2), covers (2), veiled (2).<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 2572: καλύπτω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καλύπτω</span></span>; future <span class="greek2">καλύψω</span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">ἐκάλυψα</span>; passive, present infinitive <span class="greek2">καλύπτεσθαι</span>; perfect participle <span class="greek2">κεκαλυμμενος</span>; (allied with <span class="greek2">κρύπτω</span>; <span class="abbreviation">Vanicek</span>, p. 1091; <span class="abbreviation">Curtius</span>, Das Verbum, i. 242 ;) the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">כִּסָּה</span>; often in <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>, Tragg. and other poets, more rarely in prose; <span class="accented">to cover, cover up</span>; properly: <span class="greek2">τινα</span>, <a href="/interlinear/luke/23-30.htm">Luke 23:30</a>; <span class="greek2">τί</span> <span class="greek2">τίνι</span>, a thing with anything, <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-16.htm">Luke 8:16</a>; passive <a href="/interlinear/matthew/8-24.htm">Matthew 8:24</a>; tropically, <span class="accented">to hide, veil, i. e. to hinder the knowledge of a thing</span>: perfect passive, <a href="/interlinear/matthew/10-26.htm">Matthew 10:26</a>; <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/4-3.htm">2 Corinthians 4:3</a>; <span class="greek2">πλῆθος</span> <span class="greek2">ἁμαρτιῶν</span>, not to regard or impute them, i. e. to pardon them, <a href="/interlinear/1_peter/4-8.htm">1 Peter 4:8</a>; to procure pardon of them from God, <a href="/interlinear/james/5-20.htm">James 5:20</a>; cf. <a href="/interlinear/psalms/84-3.htm">Psalm 84:3</a><FOOTNOTE:10> (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Ps. 85:3>) (2); <BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Ps 31:1>f (<BIBLE/CHAPTER_VERSE:Ps. 32:1>f) (Compare: <span class="greek2">ἀνακαλύπτω</span>, <span class="greek2">ἀποκαλύπτω</span>, <span class="greek2">ἐπικαλύπτω</span>, <span class="greek2">κατακαλύπτω</span>, <span class="greek2">παρακαλύπτω</span>, <span class="greek2">περικαλύπτω</span>, <span class="greek2">συγκαλύπτω</span>.)<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>cover, hide. <p>Akin to <a href="/greek/2813.htm">klepto</a> and <a href="/greek/2928.htm">krupto</a>; to cover up (literally or figuratively) -- cover, hide. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/2813.htm">klepto</a> <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/2928.htm">krupto</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>εκάλυπτεν εκαλύπτετε εκάλυψα εκάλυψας εκάλυψε εκάλυψέ εκάλυψεν καλυπτει καλύπτει καλύπτειν καλυπτεσθαι καλύπτεσθαι καλύπτη καλύπτοντες καλύπτουσιν καλύπψει καλυφθήσεται καλύψαι Καλυψατε Καλύψατε καλυψει καλύψει καλύψεις καλύψη καλύψουσι καλύψουσί καλύψουσιν καλύψω καλώδια καλωδίοις κεκαλυμμενον κεκαλυμμένον Kalupsate kalupsei kaluptei kaluptesthai Kalypsate Kalýpsate kalypsei kalýpsei kalyptei kalýptei kalyptesthai kalýptesthai kekalummenon kekalymmenon kekalymménon<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/matthew/8-24.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 8:24</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Verb -
