The Feast of the Cover-Over

  • Semi-Technical
  • Meredith G. Kline

This essay wants to demonstrate that the verb "pasah" in Exodus 12 should not be translated as "pass over" but "hover over." This image is the same as Genesis 1:2 where the metaphor is used to compare the Creator-Spirit to a bird hovering over the deep-and-darkness. Kline provides some background for the use of avian imagery for God and his angels.

If we remember that by death we are called back from exile to home, to our heavenly fatherland, shall we then not be filled with comfort? John Calvin
