The Curtain In The Temple

The veil of the temple was a thick, heavy curtain that separated the holy place from the most holy place. It was made of the finest linen and was intricately embroidered with cherubim and other figures. The veil was so thick that it could not be seen through, and it served to conceal the most holy place from the eyes of the people.

The veil of the temple was a symbol of the separation between God and man. The holy place represented the presence of God on earth, while the most holy place represented the presence of God in heaven. The veil symbolized the fact that man could not approach God directly, but only through the mediation of the priests.

The veil of the temple was also a symbol of the sinfulness of man. The sin of man had created a barrier between God and man, and the veil represented the need for a sacrifice to atone for sin. The veil was only to be lifted once a year, on the Day of Atonement, when the high priest would enter the most holy place and offer a sacrifice for the sins of the people.

The veil of the temple was torn in two at the moment of Jesus' death. This symbolized the fact that the sin of man had been atoned for, and that the way to God was now open.
