Senses in use

  1. A covering placed over an object · dominant

    In Numbers 4:6, the construct noun occurs in the instruction to put a leather-skin covering over the object before a blue cloth is spread above it. In Numbers 4:14, the same construct form occurs where the altar and its vessels are covered; the APB renders the clause "they shall spread a covering of leather skin over it."

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term in both verses with "a covering of leather skin." This identifies the clause-level presentation rather than a precise one-to-one rendering.
