Isa 30:1 " Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, That take counsel, but not of me; And that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, That they may add sin to sin"
From the very beginning mankind have made the mistake of attempting to cover their sins with their own devices. Adam and Eve “sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons,” but were not thereby properly covered, as evinced by their shame and fear in hiding themselves from the presence of the Lord God. This covering was not of divine appointment. Later in the chapter (Gen. 3), we find the Spirit’s covering defined: “The Lord God made coats of skins and clothed them.” But even this was only a typical covering, for they were exiled from Eden and died. The substance represented by this bloodshed and covering was Christ, thereafter to be revealed in fufilment of the promise of the Lord God, just made, concerning the Seed of the Woman (5:15).
Afterwards, under the Mosaic ritual, the clothing of the High Priest, and of the priests, and the kapporeth, place of covering, or mercy seat, in the ordinances connected with it, were shadows of the same substance. Israel was required to believe God’s promises to the fathers, and obey His commandments as expressed in the Law of Moses. To turn aside from this, and seek expiation in some other way, and to rely on Egypt for protection, was to “cover with a covering, but not of the spirit,” and to “add sin to sin.”
It is said of Christ by the Spirit in the prophet: “I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation; he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness” (Isa. 61:10). This was the scripture from which Jesus quoted at Nazareth (Lu. 4),
