From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Veil, vail       (1.) Heb. mitpahath (Ruth 3:15; marg., "sheet" or "apron;" R.V.,       "mantle"). In Isa. 3:22 this word is plural, rendered "wimples;"       R.V., "shawls" i.e., wraps.                (2.) Massekah (Isa. 25:7; in Isa. 28:20 rendered "covering").       The word denotes something spread out and covering or concealing       something else (comp. 2 Cor. 3:13-15).                (3.) Masveh (Ex. 34:33, 35), the veil on the face of Moses.       This verse should be read, "And when Moses had done speaking       with them, he put a veil on his face," as in the Revised       Version. When Moses spoke to them he was without the veil; only       when he ceased speaking he put on the veil (comp. 2 Cor. 3:13,       etc.).                (4.) Paroheth (Ex. 26:31-35), the veil of the tabernacle and       the temple, which hung between the holy place and the most holy       (2 Chr. 3:14). In the temple a partition wall separated these       two places. In it were two folding-doors, which are supposed to       have been always open, the entrance being concealed by the veil       which the high priest lifted when he entered into the sanctuary       on the day of Atonement. This veil was rent when Christ died on       the cross (Matt. 27:51; Mark 15:38; Luke 23:45).                (5.) Tza'iph (Gen. 24:65). Rebekah "took a vail and covered       herself." (See also 38:14, 19.) Hebrew women generally appeared       in public without veils (12:14; 24:16; 29:10; 1 Sam. 1:12).                (6.) Radhidh (Cant. 5:7, R.V. "mantle;" Isa. 3:23). The word       probably denotes some kind of cloak or wrapper.                (7.) Masak, the veil which hung before the entrance to the       holy place (Ex. 26:36, 37).
