one who covers
| Morphological Notes | Qal active participle, masculine singular, absolute; verbal adjective indicating a covering agent. |
| Rendering Rationale | The Qal active participle masculine singular denotes an ongoing or characteristic action, hence "one who covers." This preserves the simple active sense of the root כסה without contextual expansion. |
