I gleaned from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible: "She covered him with a mantle; either to hide him, should any search be made for him, or it may be to keep him from catching cold, being in a sweat through his flight, and being also perhaps inclined to sleep through weariness. The word for a mantle, according to Kimchi, signifies such a garment which has locks of wool on both sides of it, a sort of rug, and so very fit to cover with and keep warm. So David de Pomis describes it, as having locks and threads hanging down here and there."
