This particular term is used to describe a long veil, which may have been part of traditional attire for women, serving both as a symbol of modesty and as a protective garment. The veil could have been used in various social and religious contexts, indicating a woman's status or role within a community. The use of veils is noted in several biblical passages, reflecting cultural practices of the time. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated to convey the idea of a covering that is both functional and symbolic.
