The term "covereth" is an archaic form of the verb "cover," often found in older translations of the Bible, including the King James Version. In the Berean Standard Bible , the concept of covering is frequently associated with themes of protection, concealment, forgiveness, and atonement. The idea of covering is deeply rooted in the biblical narrative, symbolizing both divine protection and the human need for redemption.

Protection and Concealment

In the context of protection, "covereth" is used to describe God's safeguarding presence over His people.Psalm 91:4 states, "He will cover you with His feathers; under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and rampart." Here, the imagery of a bird covering its young with its wings conveys God's protective care and the security found in His presence.

The concept of concealment is also evident in the use of "covereth."Proverbs 10:12 says, "Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers all transgressions." This verse highlights the power of love to overlook and forgive offenses, suggesting that love acts as a covering that conceals the faults of others, promoting peace and reconciliation.

Forgiveness and Atonement

The theme of forgiveness is central to the biblical understanding of "covereth." InPsalm 32:1 , David declares, "Blessed is he whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered." This verse underscores the blessedness of those who have received God's forgiveness, where sins are metaphorically covered, indicating they are no longer held against the individual.

The concept of atonement is closely related to covering, particularly in the Old Testament sacrificial system. The Hebrew word "kaphar," often translated as "cover," is used in the context of atonement.Leviticus 17:11 explains, "For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement by the life." Here, the sacrificial blood serves as a covering for sin, pointing to the ultimate atonement through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Divine Covering and Human Response

The divine covering provided by God requires a human response of faith and obedience. InIsaiah 61:10 , the prophet rejoices, "I will greatly rejoice in the LORD; my soul will exult in my God. For He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom wears a priestly headdress, as a bride adorns herself with her jewels." This passage illustrates the transformative covering of salvation and righteousness that God bestows upon His people, calling them to live in accordance with His will.

In summary, the concept of "covereth" in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings, including protection, concealment, forgiveness, and atonement. It reflects the multifaceted nature of God's relationship with humanity, emphasizing His desire to protect, forgive, and redeem His people through His divine covering.
