Genesis 38:14
וַ תָּסַר בִּגְדֵי אַלְמְנוּתָהּ מֵ עָלֶיהָ וַ תְּכַס בַּ צָּעִיף וַ תִּתְעַלָּף וַ תֵּשֶׁב בְּ פֶתַח עֵינַיִם אֲשֶׁר עַל דֶּרֶךְ תִּמְנָתָה כִּי רָאֲתָה כִּי גָדַל שֵׁלָה וְ הִוא לֹא נִתְּנָה לֹו לְ אִשָּׁה
And she is causing to turn aside the treacherous-garments of her bound-one1197 from upon her, and she is covering in the Wrapping,1198 and is wrapping herself, and is sitting in the opening of Eyes,1199 which is upon the road Portion-ward, for she has seen that Petition has grown, and himself has not been given to-himself to a woman.
| 1198 | Strong’s #6809, tsaiph. Wrapping, shawl, veil. The root means to wrap over. This is used only three times in the Bible: Gen. 24:65, 38:14,19. Though often translated as “veil” it is not the same as tsammah (#6777) which means veil (for a woman) which is found 4 times, or masveh (#4533) which is used of Moses’ “veil”. |
