Two Women Who Veiled Themselves and Bore Twins

What is written above concerning the matter? The account of Tamar: "And it was told to Tamar, saying," etc., "and she removed her widow's garments [from upon her] and covered herself with a veil" (Genesis 38:13-14). Two women covered themselves with a veil and bore twins; these are Rebekah and Tamar. Of Rebekah it is written, "and she took the veil and covered herself" (Genesis 24:65), and she bore twins, Esau and Jacob, as it is said, "and behold, there were twins in her womb" (Genesis 25:24). Tamar covered herself with a veil and bore twins, Perez and Zerah.
