'Veil' in the Bible

(The Bridegroom)“How fair and beautiful you are, my darling,How very beautiful!Your eyes behind your veil are like those of a dove;Your hair is like [the shimmering black fleece of] a flock of [Arabian] goatsThat have descended from Mount Gilead [beyond the Jordan].

“Your lips are like a ribbon of scarlet,And your mouth is lovely.Your temples are like a slice of the pomegranateBehind your veil.

“The watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me.They struck me, they wounded me;The guardsmen of the walls took my shawl from me.

“Your temples are like a slice of the pomegranateBehind your veil.
