Gen. 23:1 Sarah lived to be 127 years old; these were the years of Sarah's life. 2 Sarah died in Kiryat-Arba, also known as Hevron, in the land of Kena'an; and Avraham came to mourn Sarah and weep for her. KEFA ALEF / 1 Peter 3:1 Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives,...3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel 4 Rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. 5 For in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive to their own husbands. Rebecca (also spelled Rebekah) (Hebrew: ‫רִבְקָה‬, Modern Rivká, from the Hebrew ribhqeh ("connection"), from Semitic root rabak, "to tie, couple or join" or "to secure") appears in the Hebrew Bible as the wife of Isaac and the mother of Jacob and Esau. Rebecca and Isaac were one of the four couples believed to be buried in the Cave of the Patriarchs, the other three being Adam and Eve citation needed, Abraham and Sarah, and Jacob and Leah.‬ BERESHIT / Gen. 24:1 By now Avraham was old, advanced in years; and Adonai had blessed Avraham in everything. 2 Avraham said to the servant .....you will not choose a wife for my son from among the women of the Kena'ani, among whom I am living; 4 but that you will go to my homeland, to my kinsmen, to choose a wife for my son Yitz'chak."... 62 Meanwhile, Yitz'chak, one evening after coming along the road from Be'er-Lachai-Ro'i — he was living in the Negev — 63 went out walking in the field; and as he looked up, he saw camels approaching. 64 Rivkah too looked up; and when she saw Yitz'chak, she quickly dismounted the camel. 65 She said to the servant, "Who is this man walking in the field to meet us?" When the servant replied, "It's my master," she took her VEIL and covered herself. Ex. 19:14 Moshe went down from the mountain to the people and separated the people for God, and they washed their clothing. 1. Brides are VEILED for their GROOM, like ISRAEL was for HaShem. Matt. 19:3 Some P'rushim came and tried to trap him by asking, "Is it permitted for a man to divorce his wife on any ground whatever?" 4 He replied, "Haven't you read that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female 6 Thus they are no longer two, but one. So then, no one should split apart what God has joined together." 7 They said to him, "Then why did Moshe give the commandment that a man should hand his wife a get and divorce her?" 8 He answered, "Moshe allowed you to divorce your wives because your hearts are so hardened. But this is not how it was at the beginning. 9 Now what I say to you is that whoever divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery!" Deut. 24:1 "Suppose a man marries a woman and consummates the marriage but later finds her displeasing, because he has found her offensive in some respect. He writes her a divorce document, gives it to her and sends her away from his house. Our Rabbis have taught - There are seven types of Pharisees: 1. Parush Shikmi פרוש שיכמי -- Shoulder Pharisee 2. Parush Nikpi פרוש נקפי -- Bruised Wait-awhile Pharisee 3. Parush Kizai פרוש קיזאי -- Blind Pharisee 4. Parush M'doki מדוכיא פרוש -- Head in the Sand Pharisee 5. Parush Mah Chovti מה חובתי -- "What's My Duty" Pharisee 6. Parush M'Yar'ah פרוש מיראה -- Pharisee from fear [of God] 7. Parush M'Ahavah פרוש מאהבה -- Pharisee from love [of God] Matt. 23:24 BLIND guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! NKJV 2 Cor. 4:3 And even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. 4 In their case, the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so they might not see the light of the Good News of the glory of Messiah, who is the image of God. TLV 2. PHARISEES were VEILED from the TRUTH, the way HaSatan VEILS the UNBELIEVER. 1 Cor. 11:3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of the Messiah is God. 4 Every man who prays or prophesies wearing something down over his head brings shame to his head, 5 but every woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled brings shame to her head [husband]. 2 Cor. 3:15 Yes, till today, whenever Moshe is read, a veil lies over their heart. 16 "But," says the Torah, "whenever someone turns to Adonai, the veil is taken away...18 So all of us, with faces unveiled, see as in a mirror the glory of the Lord; and we are being changed into his very image, from one degree of glory to the next, by Adonai the Spirit. 3. MOSHE was VEILED because of the GLORY, the way BELIEVERS are VEILED for the GLORY.
