Commentary

glasses--mirrors of polished metal (Exo 38:8). But the Septuagint, a transparent, gauze-like, garment. hoods--miters, or diadems (Isa 62:3; Zac 3:5). veils--large enough to cover the head and person. Distinct from the smaller veils ("mufflers") above (Gen 24:65). Token of woman's subjection (Co1 11:10).
