Jonathan:

I agree with you that “beguiling” (probably through the use of flattery) is a stronger reading. But every now and then I like to throw out a trial balloon to see what comes back.

Thank you.

I liked the idea at first, but upon reflection, I think beguiling is a better fit, as I see the passage turning on the verbs to cover (כסה) and uncover (גלה).  A storm would work better if those two verbs were say, deny and proven (to be a liar), or something along those lines.
