Genesis 8:13

וַ יְהִי בְּ אַחַת וְ שֵׁשׁ מֵאֹות שָׁנָה בָּ רִאשֹׁון בְּ אֶחָד לַ חֹדֶשׁ חָרְבוּ הַ מַּיִם מֵ עַל הָ אָרֶץ וַ יָּסַר נֹחַ אֶת מִכְסֵה הַ תֵּבָה וַ יַּרְא וְ הִנֵּה חָרְבוּ פְּנֵי הָ אֲדָמָה

And he is becoming in one and six hundred of a duplication, in the First-one,321 in one to the New-one, the Dual-Waters have been laid-desolate322 from upon the Earth; and Rest is causing to turn aside the covering of the Chest,323 and he is seeing, and behold, the faces of the Red-one have been laid-desolate.


323

Strong’s #4372, mikseh, covering. This is a different word than the previous Kopher covering on the inside and outside, but may be the same thing. The verb is the Hiphil form which is causative (made to turn aside, caused to turn aside). This is the word for the skins covering the tabernacle, Ex. 26:14, 35:11, 36:19, 39:34, and the coverings of the holy things in Numbers 4. There was no mention of Rest constructing this previously.
