In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe a veil that conceals or covers the face. This term is specifically associated with Moses, who used a veil to cover his face after speaking with God, as his face shone with the glory of the encounter.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, veils were commonly used for various purposes, including modesty, protection, and ceremonial functions. In the biblical narrative, the veil worn by Moses served a unique purpose. After Moses descended from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant, his face shone with the glory of God, causing fear among the Israelites. To mitigate this fear and to signify the fading glory, Moses wore a veil when speaking to the people, removing it only when he entered the presence of the Lord (Exodus 34:29-35).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/5497.htm">suth</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a veil<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>veil (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מַסְוֶה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>veil</b></font>;
