📚 Contexto Histórico
In the time of Abraham, it was customary for unmarried women to cover themselves with a veil when meeting a potential husband, as a sign of modesty and respect, which was a common cultural practice in ancient Near Eastern societies. This scene occurs as Rebekah is arriving to meet Isaac, whom she will marry, after Abraham's servant successfully found her as a bride for his son. The cultural practice highlighted here reflects the values of purity and preparation for marriage in a patriarchal society.
