Meanings

  1. a veil or mask

    A thin piece of cloth worn over the face, thin enough for the wearer to see through, used to hide one's face from being recognized or for modesty or reverence

    Examples

    Exodus 34:33 When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.

    Exodus 34:34 But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, he would take off the veil until he came out; and whenever he came out and spoke to the sons of Israel what he had been commanded,

    Exodus 34:35 the sons of Israel would see the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone. So Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with Him.
