In Exodus 34:29-35, Moses put a veil over his face to shield the glory of God from the Israelites. In 2 Corinthians 3:12-18, the veil, which prevented the Israelites from seeing the radiance pass away, illustrated the condition of heart which prevented the Jews from seeing that the Law had passed away. So whatever stands between a person and the truth can rightly be represented as a “veil”.
