I am a thinly fleshed expression
of an inward warmth;
I was used to honor the Rabbi's feet;
A scoundrel hid behind me to
betray his innocent friend.
Who am I?
*The question 'Who am I?' is asked in the figurative personified
sense for the sake of the riddle. Please understand that an inanimate object may be the answer, for which reason
you might expect to read 'What am I?'. Carry on.
