In the supplied transcript evidence, Les Feldick does not explicitly define 'covereth'; the closest biblical term he reads is 'thy covering' in Ezekiel 28:13.
The question likely refers to Ezekiel 28:14, where the KJV says 'the anointed cherub that covereth.' None of the provided clips quote that verse. Clip 0 quotes verse 13, which uses the related word 'covering' in the phrase 'Every precious stone was thy covering.' No clip states that 'covereth' means 'ruleth.'
Ezekiel 28:13 — Les quotes this verse in the supplied transcripts, using the related term 'covering.'
Ezekiel 28:14 — This is the verse that contains the exact KJV word 'covereth' asked about in the question.
Ezekiel 28:14 (KJV) reads, 'Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.' The immediate context, Ezekiel 28:13, describes the cherub's covering as 'every precious stone,' naming sardius, topaz, diamond, beryl, onyx, jasper, sapphire, emerald, carbuncle, and gold. The KJV text itself does not define 'covereth' as 'ruleth.' It presents the cherub as anointed and set in place by God. The word 'ruleth' is not used in these verses.
The provided transcripts do not show Les Feldick giving a direct definition of 'covereth.' In Clip 0, he quotes Ezekiel 28:13 and notes that 'every precious stone was thy covering' and that these same gemstones appear again in Revelation. He does not say 'covereth means ruleth.' Other clips (1, 2, 3) concern ruling and reigning in an earthly kingdom, but they do not apply that idea to the Ezekiel 28 cherub. Therefore, based only on this evidence, Les's teaching here is limited to the splendour of the cherub's covering rather than a lexical meaning of the word.
Ezekiel 28:13 (KJV) says, 'Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering...' In Clip 0, Les reads this verse and highlights the list of precious stones. He compares the gemstones to those in the holy city of Revelation. He does not interpret the word 'covering' as 'ruleth' in this clip.
None of the supplied clips says that 'covereth' means 'ruleth.' Clip 1 discusses believers ruling and reigning with Christ on the earth. Clips 2 and 3 discuss the future earthly kingdom in Ezekiel 47 and Zechariah 14. These clips use the concept of rule, but they never connect it to the Hebrew word behind 'covereth' in Ezekiel 28.
Ezekiel 28:13 Covering of Precious Stones
Les reads Ezekiel 28:13 and lists the precious stones that formed the cherub's covering; he then notes these same gems appear in Revelation's holy city. He does not say 'covereth' means 'ruleth.'
Believers Rule and Reign on Earth
Les teaches that believers will rule and reign with Christ on the earth and that the Lord was received into glory by the angelic host as the 'cloud.' This shows the idea of ruling but is not connected to Ezekiel 28.
Ezekiel 47 Kingdom River
Les reads Ezekiel 47:10 about fishers standing by the river when the Kingdom is set up and Christ has returned, but he does not address 'covereth.'
Zechariah 14:9 Earthly Kingdom
Les quotes Zechariah 14:9 to show the Lord will be King over all the earth and then moves to Ezekiel 47, without discussing the Ezekiel 28 cherub.
Revelation 4 & 5 Explained: The Throne Room & the Scroll
The second one is like a calf, or I'm going to use the term ox. And the third one had the face of a man, and the fourth one was as an eagle. Now that's back here in Revelation. All right, now turn back with me to Ezekiel chapter, I think it's chapter 1, I'll have to look a second. Ezekiel, it's either chapter 1 or 2, but we'll find it in a second.

In other words, Nebuchadnezzar saw them crushed under the stone until they became powder and the wind blows them away. All right, Daniel sees them as cast down, destroyed, and the Ancient of Days did sit. Now that's capitalized, so it's referring to God. So the Ancient of Days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool.

It's toward the end of Ezekiel, we'll find it here in just a second, because I want you to see it. Yeah, 47. You're right. Ezekiel 47. Now remember, this is another one of those books that's all prophecy spoken in symbolism, the one I mentioned here last program.
Daniel 2 Explained: The Stone Kingdom That Fills the Earth
Now you ever get to Israel, and you get to the Dead Sea, nothing can live in it now, but the day is coming, and oh, I've got to show it to you in a minute. Let's look this one up, verse 9, then we'll go back to Ezekiel so you'll see what I'm talking about. But while you're here in Zechariah, let's read verse 9, "...and the Lord shall be king over all the...
Ezekiel 28:13: Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
This is the verse Les quotes in Clip 0, using the related word 'covering.'
Ezekiel 28:14: Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.
This is the verse where the exact KJV word 'covereth' appears.
In the supplied transcripts, no. Les reads Ezekiel 28:13 and refers to the cherub's covering of precious stones, but he never defines 'covereth' as 'ruleth' in these clips. That definition would have to come from other teaching not included in the evidence.
The KJV uses 'covereth' in Ezekiel 28:14: 'Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so.' It also uses 'covering cherub' in Ezekiel 28:16. Verse 13 uses the related noun 'covering' in 'every precious stone was thy covering.'
Ezekiel 28:14 says the cherub was upon the holy mountain of God. The supplied clips do not comment on this phrase. Clip 0 only discusses the precious stones in verse 13.
