24:65 and asked ¹  Abraham’s servant, ²  “Who is that man walking in the field toward us?” “That is my master,” the servant replied. ³  So she took her veil and covered herself.

Kejadian 38:14-15

38:14 So she removed her widow’s clothes and covered herself with a veil. She wrapped herself and sat at the entrance to Enaim which is on the way to Timnah. (She did this because ⁴  she saw that she had not been given to Shelah as a wife, even though he had now grown up.) ⁵ 

38:15 When Judah saw her, he thought she was a prostitute ⁶  because she had covered her face.

Mikha 7:5

7:5 Do not rely on a friend;

do not trust a companion!

Don’t even share secrets with the one who lies in your arms! ⁷
