Thank you everyone for your replies, but something Steven brought up
brings another question to mind. I do not want to go into a theological
discussion because I know this can be used as a somewhat devisive
passage and would never want to cause devision among brethren and this
list is only for Greek interpretation. Having said that, why in verses 6
& 7 does Paul use different forms of KATAKALUPTW instead of the word for
veil used 4 times by him in 2 Corinthians 3:13-16 (in reference to the
veil wore by Moses over his face) KALUMA. In the gospel headings the
word KATA seems to be used in a paculiar sense meaning something handed
down. Why is the KATA neccessary here? Is Paul playing pass the
covering? Why KALUPTW and not KALUMA?

Thank you,
Debbie McChesney
