Whatever the reason for Tamar's covering is, it wasn't done from a command of God. To quote this story does nothing to provide proof that God commands Christian women to veil. It is only an example of a cultural practise which comes from within Man, not God.
Where are the commands of God for the veil, shown from Ge to Paul? They aren't there. The evidence of the veil from the OT doesn't show proof that it comes from commands. A view of 1Co11 must be found which is in agreement with the evidence. The veil view needs to be modified to agree with the evidence.
