This concept can be found in various contexts throughout Scripture, including the uncovering of physical objects, spiritual truths, or moral actions.<br><br>1. <b>Physical Uncovering</b>: In the Old Testament, the act of uncovering often pertains to physical objects or spaces. For example, in <a href="/numbers/4-5.htm">Numbers 4:5-6</a>, the Kohathites are instructed on how to handle the sacred objects of the Tabernacle: "When the camp sets out, Aaron and his sons are to go in and take down the veil of the curtain and cover the Ark of the Testimony with it. Then they are to cover this with a covering of fine leather, spread a cloth of solid blue over it, and insert its poles." Here, uncovering is part of a ritual process, emphasizing the sacredness and careful handling of holy items.<br><br>2. <b>Moral and Spiritual Uncovering</b>: The Bible frequently uses the concept of uncovering to describe the revelation of sin or moral failings. In <a href="/proverbs/25-9.htm">Proverbs 25:9-10</a>, it is advised, "Argue your case with your neighbor without betraying another’s confidence, lest the one who hears may disgrace you, and your infamy never go away." This passage warns against uncovering or exposing another's secrets, highlighting the importance of discretion and integrity.<br><br>3. <b>Prophetic Uncovering</b>: Prophets in the Bible often speak of God uncovering or revealing His plans and purposes. In <a href="/amos/3-7.htm">Amos 3:7</a>, it is stated, "Surely the Lord GOD does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets." This uncovering is a divine act, where God discloses His intentions to chosen individuals, allowing them to communicate His will to the people.<br><br>4. <b>Uncovering of Shame</b>: The Bible also uses the term in the context of shame and dishonor. In <a href="/isaiah/47-3.htm">Isaiah 47:3</a>, the prophet speaks against Babylon, saying, "Your nakedness will be uncovered, and your shame will be exposed. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one." Here, uncovering is associated with judgment and the exposure of wrongdoing, leading to public disgrace.<br><br>5. <b>Uncovering in Worship and Ritual</b>: In the New Testament, the concept of uncovering appears in discussions about worship practices. In <a href="/1_corinthians/11-5.htm">1 Corinthians 11:5-6</a>, Paul addresses the issue of head coverings for women in the church: "And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for it is just as if her head were shaved. If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head." This passage reflects cultural norms of the time and the importance of maintaining decorum and respect in worship settings.<br><br>The theme of uncovering in the Bible underscores the importance of revelation, whether it be the revelation of God's will, the exposure of sin, or the proper conduct in worship. It serves as a reminder of the divine authority and the call to live in accordance with God's standards.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/1540.htm"><span class="l">1540. galah -- to uncover, remove</span></a><br><b>...</b> 12), revealed* (2), revealing (1), reveals (4), revelation* (1), sent into exile<br> (1), sent you into exile (2), set forth (1), shamelessly <b>uncovers</b> (1), show (1 <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/1540.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 7k</font><a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/watson/the_ten_commandments/3_2_degrees_of_sin.htm"><span class="l">Degrees of Sin</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Neglect of family-prayer, as it were, <b>uncovers</b> the roof of men's houses, and<br> makes way for a curse to be rained down upon their table. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//christianbookshelf.org/watson/the ten commandments/3 2 degrees of sin.htm</font><p><a href="/library/philips/the_christian_home/chapter_v_home_influence.htm"><span class="l">Home Influence.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> direction onward and upward.
