SIBI-P1 H3680-05

covering ones (feminine plural)

Rootכסה (k-s-h)
Core Meaningscovering, concealing, clothing, enclosing, overwhelming
Semantic Rangeto cover physically (with clothing or material), to conceal or hide, to clothe oneself, to overwhelm, to enshroud, to fill or overlay
Conceptual SignificanceThe root כסה often conveys the act of covering either for protection or concealment, whether literal (garments, cloud cover) or figurative (covering sin, divine hiddenness). As a participle, it can depict ongoing action, highlighting sustained covering—an image associated with protection, modesty, atonement, or divine mystery in biblical theology.
Morphological NotesHebrew verb, Qal stem, active participle, feminine plural form from the root כסה (H3680). The -וֹת ending marks feminine plural participles.
Rendering RationaleThe form כַּסּוֹת is a Qal participle feminine plural from כסה, "to cover." Rendering it "covering ones" preserves the active, durative sense of the participle and reflects the feminine plural ending -וֹת, maintaining both the verbal force and grammatical number/gender.
