Genesis 38:14

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.


Footnote:

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”.
