covering ones (feminine plural)
| Root | כסה (k-s-h) |
| Core Meanings | covering, concealing, clothing, enclosing, overwhelming |
| Semantic Range | to cover physically (with clothing or material), to conceal or hide, to clothe oneself, to overwhelm, to enshroud, to fill or overlay |
| Conceptual Significance | The 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 Notes | Hebrew verb, Qal stem, active participle, feminine plural form from the root כסה (H3680). The -וֹת ending marks feminine plural participles. |
| Rendering Rationale | The 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. |
