Leviticus 20:4 shows what the Hebrew idiom is talking about. Here in this chapter it mentions the sin of a man sacrificing their children to molech, and that this sin should not go unpunished - nor should anyone ‘hide their eyes from this man’ …. The idiom is basically saying don’t hide yourself (don’t turn your eyes away) from your own sins - look in the mirror and confront your sin, Seek forgiveness, & turn away from the sin. We often see others sins clearly but forget to examine our own selves, ‘hiding from our own flesh’ the sins that so easily entangle us.

We often see others sins clearly but forget to examine our own selves, ‘hiding from our own flesh’ the sins that so easily entangle us. You will see that right before this saying in Isaiah 58 , ‘you shall cover the naked’ - considering nakedness as a display of sin seen in the prophets, here too the Lord is saying to cover their sins and not put them on display. Cover them pray for them and loose them from their sin so they too would be covered. Yes the passage can also mean clothing - but there is a much deeper spiritual meaning that matters more than clothing that the Lord wants us to see.
