It was a critical component of the Tabernacle, emphasizing the holiness of God and the need for mediation.of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn These colors were significant in ancient Israelite culture. Blue often represented the heavens or divinity, purple was associated with royalty and wealth, and scarlet symbolized sacrifice and atonement. The use of these colors in the veil highlighted the divine and kingly nature of God, as well as the sacrificial system that pointed to the need for atonement.and finely spun linen Linen was a high-quality fabric, symbolizing purity and righteousness. The use of finely spun linen in the veil underscored the purity required to approach God. Linen was also used in the garments of the priests, further connecting the theme of holiness and service.with cherubim skillfully worked into it Cherubim are angelic beings often associated with the presence of God. Their depiction on the veil signified the guarding of the divine presence, reminiscent of the cherubim placed at the entrance of the Garden of Eden (<a href="/genesis/3-24.htm">Genesis 3:24</a>). This imagery reinforced the idea that access to God was restricted and required divine permission. The veil itself is a type of Jesus Christ, who, through His death, tore the veil, granting believers direct access to God (<a href="/matthew/27-51.htm">Matthew 27:51</a>; <a href="/hebrews/10-19.htm">Hebrews 10:19-20</a>).

THE VAIL, AND THE POSITION WHICH IT WAS TO OCCUPY.(31) Thou shalt make a vail.--It was of the essence of the mishkan that it should have an outer and an inner sanctuary, a place for the daily ministrations of the priests, and an adytum or penetrale of extreme holiness, in which was to be the Divine Presence, and into which the high priest alone was to be privileged to enter, and he but once in the year. (See <a href="/exodus/30-10.htm" title="And Aaron shall make an atonement on the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement on it throughout your generations: it is most holy to the LORD.">Exodus 30:10</a>; <a href="/context/leviticus/16-2.htm" title="And the LORD said to Moses, Speak to Aaron your brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the veil before the mercy seat, which is on the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat.">Leviticus 16:2-34</a>; <a href="/hebrews/9-7.htm" title="But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:">Hebrews 9:7</a>.)
