Strong's Lexicon takrik: Wrapping, shroud, covering Original Word: תַּכְרִיךְ Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּרַךְ (karakh), meaning "to wrap" or "to encircle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with burial wrappings is "σινδών" (sindon), which appears in the New Testament in the context of Jesus' burial (e.g., Mark 15:46, BSB). Usage: The term "takrik" refers to a wrapping or shroud, often used in the context of burial practices. It signifies the cloth or covering used to wrap a body for burial, emphasizing the act of encasing or enveloping. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, burial practices were significant, reflecting beliefs about death and the afterlife. The use of a shroud, or "takrik," was a common practice, symbolizing respect for the deceased and preparation for burial. This practice is rooted in the broader Near Eastern customs of honoring the dead, where the body was carefully prepared and wrapped before being laid to rest. The shroud served both practical and symbolic purposes, protecting the body and signifying the finality of death.
