bâgad
and the treacherous
To act or deal treacherously, to be unfaithful, to break faith, especially in the context of covenantal relationships (social, marital, or religious). The verb primarily expresses the idea of betrayal, whether by violating a formal agreement, acting disloyally in marriage, or turning away from obligations. In nonliteral and figurative usage, it denotes infidelity to commitments, whether between individuals or between the community and the deity. While related to the notion of covering or clothing, the root meaning is more likely connected with secrecy or hiddenness implied in treachery, rather than literal covering.
