Berean Strong's Lexicon eneileó: To wrap, to enclose, to envelop Original Word: ἐνειλέω Word Origin: From the preposition ἐν (en, meaning "in" or "into") and the verb εἰλέω (eileo, meaning "to roll" or "to wrap"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for ἐνειλέω, the concept of wrapping or enclosing can be related to Hebrew terms such as חָתַל (chatal), which means "to wrap" or "to bind." Usage: The verb ἐνειλέω (eneileó) is used to describe the action of wrapping or enclosing something, often in a covering or cloth. In the context of the New Testament, it is typically associated with the preparation of a body for burial, indicating the act of wrapping the body in linen or cloth. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Jewish burial customs, it was customary to wrap the deceased in linen cloths. This practice was part of the preparation of the body for burial, which included washing, anointing with spices, and wrapping in linen. The wrapping served both as a sign of respect for the deceased and as a practical measure to contain the body and any burial spices used.
