It is often used metaphorically to describe God's protection over His people. The concept of a covert is significant in understanding the nature of divine refuge and the assurance of safety provided by God to those who trust in Him.<br><br><b>Old Testament Usage</b><br><br>The Hebrew word often translated as "covert" is "סֵ֫תֶר" (seter), which means a hiding place or shelter. This term is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament to describe both physical and spiritual protection.<br><br>One notable instance is found in <a href="/isaiah/4-6.htm">Isaiah 4:6</a>, which states, "There will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain." Here, the covert is depicted as a divine provision, offering protection from the elements, symbolizing God's care and provision for His people.<br><br>In <a href="/isaiah/32-2.htm">Isaiah 32:2</a>, the prophet describes a righteous leader as "a shelter from the wind, a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in a dry land, like the shade of a great rock in a thirsty land." This imagery emphasizes the protective and sustaining role of a godly leader, akin to the protection God provides.<br><br><b>Psalms and Wisdom Literature</b><br><br>The Psalms frequently employ the imagery of a covert to express trust in God's protection. <a href="/psalms/61-4.htm">Psalm 61:4</a> declares, "Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings." This verse uses the metaphor of a bird's wings to convey the safety and security found in God's presence.<br><br>Similarly, <a href="/psalms/91.htm">Psalm 91:1-2</a> states, "He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, 'He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.'" This passage highlights the covert as a place of divine refuge, emphasizing the believer's confidence in God's protection.<br><br><b>Prophetic Literature</b><br><br>In the prophetic books, the concept of a covert is often associated with the messianic hope and the restoration of Israel. <a href="/ezekiel/34-25.htm">Ezekiel 34:25-26</a> speaks of a future covenant of peace, where God promises to provide a secure and prosperous environment for His people: "I will make a covenant of peace with them and rid the land of wild animals, so that they may dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the forests."<br><br><b>New Testament Implications</b><br><br>While the specific term "covert" is not commonly used in the New Testament, the concept of divine protection and refuge is prevalent. Jesus Christ is portrayed as the ultimate source of spiritual shelter and salvation. In <a href="/matthew/23-37.htm">Matthew 23:37</a>, Jesus laments over Jerusalem, saying, "How often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling." This imagery echoes the Old Testament theme of God as a protective shelter.<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>The idea of a covert in the Bible underscores the assurance of God's protection and care for His people. It serves as a reminder of the security found in a relationship with God, who is depicted as a refuge and fortress. This theme resonates with believers who seek comfort and safety in the midst of life's challenges, trusting in God's unwavering presence and protection.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
