UNVEILED
$
(
1
, 177), “uncovered” ( , negative,
$
, “to
cover”), is used in 1 Cor. 11:5, 13,
RV
, “unveiled,” with reference to the injunction
forbidding women to be “unveiled” in a church gathering.¶ Whatever the character of the
covering, it is to be on her head as “a sign of authority” (v. 10),
RV
, the meaning of which
is indicated in v. 3 in the matter of headships, and the reasons for which are given in vv.
7-9, and in the phrase “because of the angels,” intimating their witness of, and interest in,
that which betokens the headship of Christ. The injunctions were neither Jewish, which
required men to be veiled in prayer, nor Greek, by which men and women were alike
“unveiled.” The apostle’s instructions were “the commandment of the Lord” (14), and
were for all the churches (vv. 33, 34).
