Strong's is an index and starting point, not the final meaning of a word. Do not build doctrine from a gloss, root, or number. Test meaning by sentence, grammar, authorial usage, context, and the passage argument.
[מְסֻכָֿה] noun feminine that with which one is covered, covering; — suffix מְסֻכָֿתָ֑ךָ Ezek 28:13 (so Baer Ginsb; van d. H. ׳ מְסֻכּ) all precious stones were thy covering (= thou wast covered with them); — the tradition is strong in favour of Raph¢ , but sense favours derivation from סכך.
