Word Origin:From the Greek preposition "ἐν" (en, meaning "in" or "on") and the verb "τυλίσσω" (tulissó, meaning "to wrap" or "to roll").
Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "entulissó," the concept of wrapping or folding can be related to Hebrew words like "חָתַל" (chatal), which means to wrap or swaddle.
Usage:The verb "entulissó" is used in the New Testament to describe the action of wrapping or folding something, often in the context of burial practices. It conveys the idea of carefully and deliberately rolling or folding an item, typically cloth or linen.
Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Jewish burial customs, bodies were wrapped in linen cloths before being placed in a tomb. This practice was a sign of respect and care for the deceased. The use of "entulissó" in the New Testament reflects these customs, highlighting the attention given to the preparation of a body for burial.
