Definition: The term 'anodyne' in the Bible refers to a covering, veil, or robe, often associated with spiritual gifts. The verb "to anodize" means to cover or wrap around something as though it were not visible or seen. It's closely related to "anointing," which involves putting oil on someone's head to represent their divine power. In the Bible, 'anodyne' was used figuratively to describe a veil that covered a person's face when they had received the Holy Spirit.
