The concept of a veil, as expressed by לוֹט, is echoed in the New Testament through these Greek terms, which similarly denote coverings or veils used in religious and cultural contexts. The veil's role in both the Hebrew and Greek scriptures underscores its importance as a symbol of separation, mystery, and reverence.

Usage: The term לוֹט is used in the context of a covering or veil, often implying something that conceals or obscures.

Context: The Hebrew word לוֹט (Lot) is primarily understood as a veil or covering. It is derived from the root לוּט (lut), which conveys the idea of wrapping or enveloping. This term is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a physical covering that conceals or hides something from view. The concept of a veil is significant in biblical literature, often symbolizing modesty, separation, or the hidden nature of divine mysteries. In the cultural and religious context of ancient Israel, veils were commonly used by women as a sign of modesty and respect. The veil also holds symbolic meaning in various biblical narratives, representing the separation between the divine and the human, as seen in the veil of the temple that separated the Holy of Holies from the rest of the sanctuary.
