SIBI-P1 H899-07

his coverings

Rootבגד (b-g-d)
Core Meaningscovering, concealment, acting covertly, treachery
Semantic Rangegarment, clothing, robe, outer covering; by extension treachery or unfaithful dealing (from the verbal root)
Conceptual SignificanceGarments in the Hebrew Bible signify identity, status, and moral condition (e.g., priestly vestments, garments of mourning, symbolic clothing of righteousness). The connection of בגד to treachery underscores a conceptual link between outward covering and hidden intent, enriching prophetic wordplay and theological reflection on faithfulness versus concealment.
Morphological NotesMasculine plural noun in construct form (בְּגָדֵי) with 3ms pronominal suffix (־ו), yielding "his coverings/garments."
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root בגד, whose core idea involves covering or acting covertly, later extended metaphorically to treachery. As a masculine plural construct with a 3rd person masculine singular suffix, the form means "coverings of him," hence "his coverings," preserving both the plural form and the possessive suffix.
