Strong's Lexicon tuach: To coat, plaster, overlay Original Word: טוּחַ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tuach," the concept of covering or overlaying can be related to Greek terms such as "ἐπιχρίω" (epichrio), meaning to anoint or cover. Usage: The Hebrew verb "tuach" primarily means to coat or plaster, often referring to the act of covering a surface with a protective or decorative layer. This term is used in the context of construction and maintenance, particularly in the application of plaster or similar materials to walls or structures. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, buildings were often constructed using stone or mud bricks, which required a protective coating to prevent weathering and to provide a smooth surface. Plastering was a common practice in the ancient Near East, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. The process of plastering was essential for maintaining the integrity of structures and was a skill passed down through generations.
