where, instead of bechol a?tzey beroshim, which is literally, "with all trees or wood of fir," we read bechol o?z oovesheerim, "with all their might, and with songs."

The terms uncovered or naked frequently mean no more than this in Scripture. 2 Samuel 6:14, 6:16; 1 Samuel 19:23, 19:24 vain fellowsJudges 9:4; Job 30:8 shamelesslyor, openlyReciprocalGenesis 37:19 - Behold; Joshua 22:6 - General; 1 Samuel 14:49 - name of the firstborn; 24:14 - the king; 2 Samuel 19:39 - blessed; 1 Chronicles 15:29 - she despised; Job 2:10 - as one; Isaiah 20:2 - naked; Matthew 5:22 - Raca; John 21:7 - naked; Habakkuk 3:1 - the less Verse 21before2 Samuel 6:14, 6:16; 1 Corinthians 10:31 chose1 Samuel 13:14, 15:28, 16:1, 16:12; Psalm 78:70-72, 89:19, 89:20; Acts 13:22 play2 Samuel 6:5; 1 Chronicles 15:29ReciprocalJudges 21:21 - dance; 2 Samuel 7:8 - ruler; 21:9 - before the Lord; 1 Chronicles 17:7 - ruler; Job 2:10 - as one; Psalm 75:7 - he putteth; Acts 7:46 - found; 2 Corinthians 5:13 - it is to; 1 Thessalonians 3:9 - before Verse 22more vileIsaiah 50:6, 51:7; Matthew 5:11, 5:12; Acts 5:41, 5:42; Habakkuk 3:1; 1 Peter 4:14 in mineGenesis 32:10; Job 40:4, 42:6; 1 Timothy 1:15; 1 Peter 5:6 maidservantsor, handmaidsI be had1 Samuel 2:30Reciprocal2 Corinthians 5:13 - it is to Verse 23Michal1 Samuel 1:6-8; Isaiah 4:1; Hosea 9:11; Luke 1:25 unto the day1 Samuel 15:35; Isaiah 22:14; Matthew 1:25Reciprocal1 Chronicles 3:3 - Eglah
