Exegesis
The final Piel imperative satri {סַתְּרִי֙ | sat-tĕ-rî} ‘hide’ and the prohibitive altegalli {אַל־תְּגַלִּֽי | ʾal-tĕ-gal-lî} ‘do not reveal’ create an inclusio with the nouns niddachim {נִדָּחִ֔ים | nĭd-dā-ḥîm} ‘outcasts’ and noded {נֹדֵ֖ד | nō-ḏêḏ} ‘wanderer,’ underscoring the ethical imperative to protect the vulnerable.
Root and etymology
ס־ת־ר
“to cover”
In context — Isaiah 16:3
Bring counsel, render judgment ; set your shadow like night in the middle of noon; hide the outcasts, and do not reveal the wanderer.
