It is a noun that denotes the outer covering of the body. Context: The Hebrew word גֶּלֶד (geled) appears in the Old Testament to describe the skin, emphasizing its role as the protective outer layer of the human body. This term is used in contexts that highlight the physicality and vulnerability of human beings. The skin, as the body's largest organ, serves as a metaphor for human frailty and the need for divine protection. In the ancient Near Eastern context, skin was also associated with health and disease, as skin conditions were often visible indicators of one's physical state. The use of גֶּלֶד in the Hebrew Bible underscores the importance of the body in biblical anthropology, where the physical and spiritual aspects of humanity are closely intertwined.
