Veil


Rebekah covers herself in a veil before meeting her new husband Isaac

Isaac had gone out to meditate in the field toward evening when he saw camels were coming. When Rebekah saw him, she dismounted from the camel and asked, "Who is that man, walking in the field to meet us?" He said it was his master, so she took her veil and covered herself.

After the servant told all that he had done, Isaac brought her into the tent of Sarah his mother and took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
