In context

14And having taken off the garments of her widowhood from her, she put on a veil, and ornamented her face, and sat by the gates of Enaim, which is in the way to Timnah, for she saw that Shelah was grown; but he gave her not to him for a wife.

15And when Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; for she covered her face, and he knew her not.
