(1.) Heb mitpahath (Ru 3:15; marg., "sheet" or "apron;" R.V., "mantle"). In Isa 3:22 this word is plural, rendered "wimples;" R.V., "shawls" i.e., wraps.

(4.) Paroheth (Ex 26:31-35), the veil of the tabernacle and the temple, which hung between the holy place and the most holy (2Ch 3:14). In the temple a partition wall separated these two places.

This veil was rent when Christ died on the cross (Mt 27:51; Mr 15:38; Lu 23:45).
(5.) Tza'iph (Ge 24:65). Rebekah "took a vail and covered herself." (See also Ge 38:14,19.) Hebrew women generally appeared in public without veils (Ge 12:14; 24:16; 29:10; 1Sa 1:12).
