I wouldn’t say that Numbers is talking about the same concept. It’s not speaking about a required covering, nor does it specify what the covering is, nor does it specify that it isn’t speaking of the woman’s hair. The passage has little if any correlation to what is being stated in 1 Corinthians 11.
Personally, cloth head coverings don’t bother me at all and many are quite beautiful. I also have no problem with a husband making it the rule for his own household. I do have a problem when people put a burden on others where there is no clear command. It seems like most of us agree on that point when it comes to marriage, so I’m not sure why it’s an issue on this topic.
