The tradition to wear a kippah (the cap) is not derived from a biblical passage. Rather, it is a custom which is done as a sign of our recognition that God is always above us. Jewish males have covered their heads for as far back as we can trace. This practice is twice mentioned emphatically in the Talmud (Shabbat 156b; Kallah 1:16), in statements dating back 1700 and 1850 years, respectively. Even then, covering one's head is spoken of as an established practice, not something new.
