What Does “Discover” Mean in the Bible?

In the King James Bible, Discover means uncover in modern English. It is an archaic word from the 1611 KJV that has dropped out of everyday use.

What Was Lost

The raw power of divine revelation. When God's voice 'discovereth the forests,' it strips the trees bare -- the thunderstorm of Psalm 29 tears leaves from branches, exposing the naked forest. The foundations of the world 'discovered' were laid bare by God's wrath. This was not Columbus finding America but God ripping the cover off creation.
