Covering of the eyes


Occurs only in Gen. 20:16. In the Revised Version the rendering "is "it (i.e., Abimelech's present of 1,000 pieces of silver to" "Abraham) is for thee a covering of the eyes." This has been" regarded as an implied advice to Sarah to conform to the custom "of married women, and wear a complete veil, covering the eyes as" well as the rest of the face.
