(1) to strip off the bark, as of a tree. (Arab. حسف and سحف). Joel 1:7.
(2) to strip off a covering, followed by an acc. of the covering. Isaiah 47:2, חֶשְׂפִּי שֹׁבֶל “strip off the train.” Jeremiah 13:26, with acc. of person, to make bare or naked, the covering being stripped off. Jeremiah 49:10; Isaiah 52:10, “the Lord has made bare his holy arm.” Ezekiel 4:7; Isaiah 20:4, חֲשׂוּפַי שֵׁת “with the buttocks uncovered.” To make a tree bare, i.q. to strip off its leaves, Psalms 29:8.
