It appears in different contexts, from the tabernacle and temple to personal attire, and carries significant theological and cultural implications.<br><br><b>1. The Veil in the Tabernacle and Temple</b><br><br>The most prominent use of the veil in the Bible is found in the context of the tabernacle and later the temple. The veil served as a physical barrier separating the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place, or the Holy of Holies, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept. This veil symbolized the separation between God and humanity due to sin. In <a href="/exodus/26-33.htm">Exodus 26:33</a>, God instructs Moses, "Hang the veil under the clasps, and there you are to bring the ark of the Testimony, behind the veil. The veil will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place."<br><br>The veil's significance is further highlighted in the New Testament during the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. At the moment of His death, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, as recorded in <a href="/matthew/27-51.htm">Matthew 27:51</a>: "At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split." This event symbolizes the removal of the barrier between God and humanity, granting believers direct access to God through the atoning work of Christ.<br><br><b>2. The Veil as a Symbol of Modesty and Authority</b><br><br>In the cultural context of the Bible, veils were also worn by women as a sign of modesty and submission. In <a href="/genesis/24-65.htm">Genesis 24:65</a>, Rebekah covers herself with a veil upon meeting Isaac, indicating modesty and respect. The Apostle Paul addresses the topic of head coverings in <a href="/1_corinthians/11-5.htm">1 Corinthians 11:5-6</a>, where he writes, "And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head&#8212;it is just as if her head were shaved. If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head."<br><br>Paul's instructions reflect the cultural norms of the time, where a veil or head covering was a sign of a woman's acknowledgment of her role within the order established by God. It is important to note that interpretations of these passages vary, and the application of head coverings in contemporary Christian practice is diverse.<br><br><b>3. The Veil as a Metaphor</b><br><br>The veil is also used metaphorically in Scripture to describe spiritual blindness or a lack of understanding. In <a href="/2_corinthians/3-14.htm">2 Corinthians 3:14-16</a>, Paul speaks of a veil that lies over the hearts of the Israelites when they read the Old Covenant: "But their minds were closed. For to this day the same veil remains at the reading of the old covenant. It has not been lifted, because only in Christ can it be removed. And even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away."<br><br>This metaphorical use of the veil illustrates the transformative power of Christ in removing spiritual blindness and enabling believers to see the truth of the Gospel.<br><br><b>4. The Veil in Prophetic Imagery</b><br><br>In prophetic literature, the veil can also symbolize mourning or desolation. <a href="/isaiah/25-7.htm">Isaiah 25:7</a> speaks of God removing the "veil that is spread over all nations," signifying the end of sorrow and the ushering in of divine revelation and joy: "On this mountain He will swallow up the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations."<br><br>The veil, therefore, serves as a multifaceted symbol throughout the Bible, representing separation, modesty, authority, spiritual blindness, and mourning, while also pointing to the hope and reconciliation found in Christ.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Veil</span><p>With regard to the use of the veil, it is important to observe that it was by no means so general in ancient as in modern times. Much of the scrupulousness in respect of the use of the veil dates from the promulgation of the Koran, which forbade women appearing unveiled except in the presence of their nearest relatives. In ancient times the veil was adopted only in exceptional cases, either as an article of ornamental dress, (<a href="/songs/4-1.htm">Solomon 4:1,3</a>; <a href="/songs/6-7.htm">6:7</a>) or by betrothed maidens in the presence of their future husbands, especially at the time of the wedding, (<a href="/genesis/24-65.htm">Genesis 24:65</a>) or lastly, by women of loose character for purposes of concealment. (<a href="/genesis/38-14.htm">Genesis 38:14</a>) Among the Jews of the New Testament age it appears to have been customary for the women to cover their heads (not necessarily their faces) when engaged in public worship.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Veil</span><p>An indispensable part of the outdoor dress of Eastern Ladies, who live secluded from the sight of all men except their own husbands and their nearest relatives. If an Egyptian lady is surprised uncovered, she quickly draws her veil over her face, with some exclamation like, "O my misfortune." To lift or remove one's veil was to insult and degrade her, <a href="/genesis/24-65.htm">Genesis 24:65</a> So 5:7 <a href="/context/1_corinthians/11-5.htm">1 <a href="/1_corinthians/11-5.htm">1 Corinthians 11:5</a></a>,10. The custom of wearing veils, however, has not been prevalent at all times. Sarah the wife of Abraham, and Rebekah and her companions at the well do not appear to have worn them, <a href="/context/genesis/12-14.htm">Genesis 12:14</a>,15 24:16. Compare also <a href="/context/genesis/38-14.htm">Genesis 38:14</a>,15 <a href="/proverbs/7-13.htm">Proverbs 7:13</a>. See <a href="../a/abimelech.htm">ABIMELECH</a>. </p><p>Veil were of different kinds. Those now worn in Syria and Egypt may be divided into two classes, the one large and sometimes thick, the other small and of lighter materials. The usual indoor veil is of thin muslin, attached to the headdress, and falling over the back, sometimes to the feet. A similar veil is added to the front of the headdress on going abroad, partially covering the face and hanging low. The other veil, to be worn in the street, is a large mantle or sheet, of black silk, linen, or some coarse material, so ample as to envelope the whole person and dress, leaving but one of the eyes exposed, So 4:9. Such was the veil worn by <a href="/context/ruth/3-15.htm">Ruth 3:15</a>, translated "mantle" in <a href="/isaiah/3-22.htm">Isaiah 3:22</a>. Many women wear no other veil than this. The Greek word translated "power" in <a href="/context/1_corinthians/11-10.htm">1 <a href="/1_corinthians/11-10.htm">1 Corinthians 11:10</a></a>, probably means a veil, as a token of her husband's rightful authority and her own subordination. This was to be worn in their Christian assemblies "because of the angels;" that is, because of the presence either of true angels, or of the officers of the church, who being unaccustomed to see the unveiled faces of women, might be distracted by them in the discharge of their public duties. </p><p>For the "veil of the temple," see <a href="../t/tabernacle.htm">TABERNACLE</a> and <a href="../t/temple.htm">TEMPLE</a>. </p><a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>(1.)

This verse should be read, "And when Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face," as in the Revised Version. When Moses spoke to them he was without the veil; only when he ceased speaking he put on the veil (Comp. <a href="/2_corinthians/3-13.htm">2 Corinthians 3:13</a>, etc.).<p>(4.) Paroheth (<a href="/exodus/26-31.htm">Exodus 26:31</a>-35), the veil of the tabernacle and the temple, which hung between the holy place and the most holy (<a href="/2_chronicles/3-14.htm">2 Chronicles 3:14</a>). In the temple a partition wall separated these two places. In it were two folding-doors, which are supposed to have been always open, the entrance being concealed by the veil which the high priest lifted when he entered into the sanctuary on the day of Atonement. This veil was rent when Christ died on the cross (<a href="/matthew/27-51.htm">Matthew 27:51</a>; <a href="/mark/15-38.htm">Mark 15:38</a>; <a href="/luke/23-45.htm">Luke 23:45</a>).<p>(5.)

As the material was strong enough to serve as a bag for a large quantity of grain the Revised Version (British and American) is certainly right; compare <a href="/isaiah/3-22.htm">Isaiah 3:22</a>.<br><br>(2) macweh, <a href="/exodus/34-33.htm">Exodus 34:33-35</a>. Paul in his quotation of the passage in <a href="/2_corinthians/3-13.htm">2 Corinthians 3:13-16</a> uses kalumma, following Septuagint. The covering worn by Moses to conceal the miraculous brightness of his face, although, according to Massoretic Text, he seems to have worn it only in private.<br><br>(3) macckhah, <a href="/isaiah/25-7.htm">Isaiah 25:7</a>; in 28:20 translated "covering." The use in 25:7 is figurative and the form of the "veil" a matter of indifference.<br><br>(4) tsammah, the Revised Version (British and American) <a href="/songs/4-1.htm">Songs 4:1, 3</a> (margin "locks" (of hair)); 6:07; <a href="/isaiah/47-2.htm">Isaiah 47:2</a>, the King James Version "locks." The meaning of the word is uncertain and the King James Version may very well be right. If, however, the Revised Version's translation is correct, a light ornamental veil is meant.<br><br>(5) tsa`iph, <a href="/genesis/24-65.htm">Genesis 24:65</a>; <a href="/genesis/38-14.htm">Genesis 38:14, 19</a>. A large wrap is meant, which at times was used to cover the face also. In 24:65 Rebekah conformed to the etiquette which required the veiling of brides (see MARRIAGE). In Genesis 38 one motive for Tamar's use of the veil was certainly to avoid recognition, but it seems clear from the passage that veils were used by courtesans. Why is unknown, perhaps partly to conceal their identity, perhaps partly in parody of the marriage custom.<br><br>(6) redhidh, <a href="/songs/5-7.htm">Songs 5:7</a> (the Revised Version (British and American) "mantle," margin "veil"); <a href="/isaiah/3-23.htm">Isaiah 3:23</a>. A light mantle is certainly meant. In <a href="/songs/5-7.htm">Songs 5:7</a> it is torn from the maiden in the watchmen's endeavor to detain her.<br><br>(7) parakalumma, The Wisdom of Solomon 17:3 the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American) "curtain."<br><br>(8) Verb katakalupto, <a href="/1_corinthians/11-6.htm">1 Corinthians 11:6</a>, with akatakalupto, "unveil" in 11:5; the King James Version has "cover" and "uncover"; kalupto, <a href="/2_corinthians/4-3.htm">2 Corinthians 4:3</a> (twice), anakalupto, <a href="/2_corinthians/3-18.htm">2 Corinthians 3:18</a>; the King James Version "hid" and "open."<br><br>It will be seen that there is a certain reference to what in modern times would be termed a "veil" only in (2) above.

The modern oriental custom of veiling is due to Mohammedan influence and has not been universally adopted by Jewesses in the Orient. In New Testament times, however, among both Greeks and Romans, reputable women wore a veil in public (Plutarch Quaest. Rom. xiv) and to appear without it was an act of bravado (or worse); Tarsus, Paul's home city, was especially noted for strictness in this regard (Dio of Prusa, Tarsica prior, section symbol 48). Hence, Paul's indignant directions in <a href="/1_corinthians/11-2.htm">1 Corinthians 11:2-16</a>, which have their basis in the social proprieties of the time. The bearing of these directions, however, on the compulsory use of the hat by modern women in public worship would appear to be very remote.<br><br>For the Veil of the Tabernacle and the Temple see next article.<br><br>Burton Scott Easton<p><span class="encheading">VEIL (2)</span><p>(1) (parokheth; katapetasma; the King James Version vail): In Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, the veil that hung between the two holy chambers of the tabernacle is mentioned 23 times (<a href="/exodus/26-31.htm">Exodus 26:31</a>, etc.). In several places it is termed "the veil of the screen" and it is distinguished from "the screen for the door of the tabernacle" (<a href="/exodus/35-12.htm">Exodus 35:12, 15</a>; <a href="/exodus/39-34.htm">Exodus 39:34, 38</a>). By the latter is meant the curtain that hung outside the holy place, i.e. at the tabernacle entrance. <a href="/exodus/26-31.htm">Exodus 26:31</a> informs us that the veil was made of fine-twined linen, and that its colors were blue and purple and scarlet. It was embroidered with cherubim. At each removal of the tabernacle the veil was used to enwrap the ark of the testimony (<a href="/numbers/4-5.htm">Numbers 4:5</a>). From its proximity to this central object of the Hebrew ceremonial system, the veil is termed "the veil of the testimony" (<a href="/leviticus/24-3.htm">Leviticus 24:3</a>), "the veil which is before the testimony" (<a href="/exodus/27-21.htm">Exodus 27:21</a>), etc. In Solomon's Temple the veil is mentioned but once (<a href="/2_chronicles/3-14.htm">2 Chronicles 3:14</a>). It was protected by doors of olive wood (<a href="/1_kings/6-31.htm">1 Kings 6:31</a>). In the later temple it is alluded to in 1 Maccabees 1:22. Its presence in Herod's temple is attested by the statement in each of the Synoptists that at the time of Christ's death the veil of the temple was rent from top to bottom, or in the midst (<a href="/matthew/27-51.htm">Matthew 27:51</a> <a href="/mark/15-38.htm">Mark 15:38</a> <a href="/luke/23-45.htm">Luke 23:45</a>; compare in Mishna, Mid. ii. 1; iv.7). This fact is the basis of the profound truth expressed by the writer to the Hebrews that Jesus, by His sacrificial death, opened for all believers a way into the holiest "through the veil, that is to say, his flesh" (<a href="/hebrews/10-20.htm">Hebrews 10:20</a>).
