metal plating, overlay; a thin covering of gold or silver applied to objects
A noun denoting the thin metallic covering applied to sacred or idolatrous objects. In Exodus 38:17, 19 it refers to the gold or silver plating on the capitals of the tabernacle pillars. Numbers 16:38-39 describes bronze censers hammered into plating for the altar as a memorial. Isaiah 30:22 uses it contemptuously for the silver overlay on carved images destined to be discarded. Spanish 'revestimiento' (cladding) and English 'covering' together convey the sense of a decorative metallic sheath applied over a base structure.

Used for the gold or silver covering of tabernacle pillar capitals (Exod 38:17, 19), the bronze plating hammered from Korah's censers onto the altar (Num 16:38-39), and the silver sheathing of idols that Israel is called to strip away and discard (Isa 30:22). Spanish 'revestimiento' and French 'couverture' both highlight the functional sense of an applied covering layer. 5×
