These curtains were integral to the design and function of these sacred spaces, delineating areas of holiness and facilitating the worship practices of the Israelites. The Tabernacle Curtains The Tabernacle, as described in the Book of Exodus, was a portable sanctuary used by the Israelites during their wilderness wanderings. The curtains of the Tabernacle were made according to specific divine instructions given to Moses on Mount Sinai. <a href="/exodus/26.htm">Exodus 26:1</a> states, "You are to construct the Tabernacle itself with ten curtains of finely spun linen, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with cherubim skillfully worked into them." These curtains formed the walls and roof of the Tabernacle, creating a sacred space for the presence of God. The inner curtain, or veil, separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place (Holy of Holies), where the Ark of the Covenant was kept. This veil was a significant symbol of the separation between God and humanity due to sin. Only the high priest could pass beyond this veil, and only once a year on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), as described in <a href="/bsb/leviticus/16.htm">Leviticus 16</a>. The Temple Curtains Solomon's Temple, which succeeded the Tabernacle as the central place of worship, also featured curtains. According to <a href="/2_chronicles/3-14.htm">2 Chronicles 3:14</a>, "He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim worked into it." This veil served the same purpose as in the Tabernacle, maintaining the separation between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. Curtain in the New Testament The most significant mention of a curtain in the New Testament occurs at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. <a href="/matthew/27-51.htm">Matthew 27:51</a> records, "At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split." This event is rich in theological significance, symbolizing the removal of the barrier between God and humanity through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. The tearing of the curtain signifies that believers now have direct access to God, as emphasized in <a href="/hebrews/10-19.htm">Hebrews 10:19-20</a>: "Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body." Symbolism and Significance The curtains of the Tabernacle and Temple were not merely functional but carried deep symbolic meaning. They represented the holiness of God and the separation caused by sin. The intricate designs, including cherubim, pointed to the heavenly realities and the presence of God among His people. The colors and materials used—blue, purple, scarlet, and fine linen—were associated with royalty, divinity, and purity. In Christian theology, the tearing of the Temple curtain at Christ's death is a pivotal moment, illustrating the new covenant and the believer's access to God through Jesus Christ. This event underscores the fulfillment of the Old Testament sacrificial system and the establishment of a new way of relating to God, no longer mediated by earthly priests but through the eternal high priesthood of Christ.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>(1.)
