Strong's Lexicon tsaiph: Veil, shawl, wrap Original Word: צָעִיף Word Origin: From the root צָעַף (tsa'aph), meaning to wrap or to veil. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tsaiph," the concept of a veil or covering can be related to Greek terms such as καλύμμα (kalymma) - Strong's Greek 2571, which also means a covering or veil. Usage: The term "tsaiph" refers to a type of garment used as a veil or shawl, typically worn by women in ancient Hebrew culture. It signifies a covering, often used for modesty or as a cultural expression of femininity and social status. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern societies, including Israel, the wearing of veils or shawls was a common practice among women. It served both practical and symbolic purposes, such as protection from the elements, a sign of modesty, and a marker of marital status. The veil could also denote a woman's social standing and was sometimes used in ceremonial or religious contexts.
