Context: The Hebrew verb יָעַט (ya'at) appears in the Old Testament with the primary meaning of "to clothe" or "to wrap." This term is used to describe the act of covering oneself or another with garments or other materials. The action of wrapping or clothing often carries a connotation of protection, concealment, or preparation. In the cultural and historical context of the Bible, clothing was not only a practical necessity but also held symbolic significance, representing status, identity, and sometimes divine favor or judgment.

The usage of יָעַט can be seen in various contexts, such as in the preparation for a journey, a ceremonial act, or a metaphorical expression of being enveloped by God's presence or attributes. The act of clothing or wrapping is often associated with transformation or a change in state, reflecting a shift in the individual's role or condition.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated in a way that reflects its literal and figurative meanings, capturing the essence of being covered or enveloped. The verb is not frequently used, which highlights its specific and intentional application in the biblical narrative.
