What does Genesis 24:65 mean?

The mission of Abraham's servant to find and deliver a wife for Isaac from among Abraham's extended family back in Mesopotamia is nearly complete (Genesis 24:3–4). He leads a train of camels bearing Rebekah and her entourage to Isaac's home. It is evening. Isaac sees them coming while out in the field and walks into meet them. Rebekah sees Isaac for the first time and quickly dismounts from the camel. She asks the servant who the man is; he confirms that it is his master Isaac.

Rebekah quickly covers her face to hide her features from Isaac since they are not yet married. She may well have kept her face veiled until their wedding.
