covering, veil, envelope (that which conceals or shrouds)
This noun denotes a covering or veil, appearing in Isaiah 25:7 in a vision of God removing the covering that is cast over all peoples. The context speaks of God destroying "the veil that veils all peoples," likely referring to spiritual blindness or the shadow of death. Spanish "el velo" (the veil) directly captures this sense of concealment. The passage promises eschatological unveiling when God will remove what obscures understanding.
