On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Those that by faith are espoused to Christ, and would be presented as chaste virgins to him, must, in conformity to his example, humble themselves, as Rebekah, who alighted when she saw Isaac on foot, and must put themselves into subjection to him who is their head ( Eph. v. 24 ), as Rebekah, signifying it by the veil she put on, 1 Cor. xi.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

she took a veil, and covered herself--The veil is an essential part of female dress. In country places it is often thrown aside, but on the appearance of a stranger, it is drawn over the face, as to conceal all but the eyes.
