Exegesis
Finally, the Piel perfect vattəkhas {וַתְּכַס | wa-ttə-khas} ‘and she covered’ with ba-bāged {בַּבָּגֶד | ba-bā-geḏ} ‘with the garment’ completes the concealment. The Hebrew VSO order with consecutive vav is rendered as coordinated SVO clauses to preserve the unfolding deception.
In context — 1 Samuel 19:13
And Michal took the teraphim and placed them on the bed, put the goats’ hair pillow at its head, and covered it with a garment.
