It can imply a physical covering or a metaphorical hiding, such as concealing one's intentions or emotions. In the context of the Bible, it often relates to God's actions in concealing or revealing His plans and purposes.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of covering or concealing was significant in both religious and social contexts. Covering could relate to the protection and sanctity of sacred objects, as well as the concealment of sin or shame. The act of covering was also associated with atonement, where sins were metaphorically covered by sacrificial offerings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a covering, bandage<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>bandage (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֲפֵר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>covering, bandage</b></font> (Assyrian <i><em>ipru</em></i>, <em>covering</em> Zim<sup>BP 95</sup>, <i><em>êpartu</em></i>, <em>garment</em>, Id.<sup>ib.</sup> & Dl<sup>Pr 54</sup>) <font class="hebrew2">עַלעֵֿינָיו</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">א</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/20-38.htm">1 Kings 20:38</a> compare <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/20-41.htm">1 Kings 20:41</a>. <p><font class="hebrew2">אֶפְרֹחַ</font> see <font class="hebrew2">פרח</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>ashes <p>From the same as <a href="/hebrew/665.htm">'epher</a> (in the sense of covering);
