-'keper' appears to have several possible meanings, including "cover" or "lid" and "lion" - FIXME investigate this
+'keper' means "cover".
+Traditional translations employ a variety of additional spurious interpretations, including "frost"((Exodus 16:14, Job 38:29)), "bowl"((1 Chronicles 28:17)), "lion"((Proverbs 19:12)), but the interpretation of "cover" fits easily into each of the contexts.
-The "lion" meaning is pretty clear in many contextual clues pertaining to animals, particularly dangerous ones, and with its frequent association with another word which also means lion, [[ari]].
