This separation symbolizes the barrier between God and humanity due to sin. The veil's construction is attributed to skilled artisans, emphasizing the importance of craftsmanship in worship.<p><b>of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn,</b><br>The colors used in the veil are rich and vibrant, each with symbolic meaning. Blue often represents heaven or divinity, purple signifies royalty and wealth, and scarlet symbolizes sacrifice and atonement. These colors together reflect the divine nature and kingly authority of God, as well as the sacrificial system that points to the need for atonement.<p><b>and finely spun linen,</b><br>Linen was a high-quality material, representing purity and righteousness. Its use in the veil underscores the holiness required to approach God.
