SIBI-P1 H3680-34

you (masculine singular) will thoroughly cover / she will thoroughly cover

Rootכסה (k-s-h)
Core Meaningscovering, concealing, clothing, enveloping, overwhelming
Semantic Rangeto cover physically (with garments or objects), to conceal or hide, to overwhelm, to clothe, to overlay or envelop
Conceptual SignificanceCovering in the Hebrew Bible often signifies protection, atonement, modesty, or concealment of shame or sin. The intensified Piel form can underscore deliberate or complete concealment, whether physical or symbolic.
Morphological NotesPiel imperfect verb; forms attested as 2ms and 3fs. The Piel stem intensifies or emphasizes the action of covering or concealing.
Rendering RationaleThe root כסה conveys the act of covering or concealing. In the Piel stem, the verb often carries an intensive or emphatic sense, hence "thoroughly cover." The imperfect form תכסה can represent either second masculine singular ("you will cover") or third feminine singular ("she will cover"), and both are reflected here to preserve the morphology.
