The use of blue, purple, and crimson yarn, along with fine linen, indicates the high quality and sacred nature of the materials. Blue often symbolizes heaven or divinity, purple represents royalty, and crimson can signify sacrifice or atonement. Fine linen was a luxury item, indicating purity and holiness. This veil is reminiscent of the tabernacle veil described in <a href="/exodus/26-31.htm">Exodus 26:31-33</a>, emphasizing continuity in worship practices from the tabernacle to the temple. The colors and materials reflect the wealth and splendor of Solomon's temple, as well as the importance of approaching God with reverence and purity.<p><b>with cherubim woven into it</b><br>Cherubim are angelic beings often associated with the presence of God, as seen in <a href="/genesis/3-24.htm">Genesis 3:24</a> and <a href="/ezekiel/10.htm">Ezekiel 10</a>. Their inclusion in the veil's design signifies the holiness and divine protection of the Most Holy Place. The cherubim serve as guardians of sacred spaces, symbolizing the separation between God and humanity due to sin. This imagery points forward to the New Testament, where the tearing of the temple veil at Christ's crucifixion (<a href="/matthew/27-51.htm">Matthew 27:51</a>) signifies the removal of the barrier between God and humanity, granting believers direct access to God through Jesus Christ. The presence of cherubim also connects to the Ark of the Covenant, where they are depicted as covering the mercy seat, further emphasizing the theme of divine presence and atonement.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a></b><br>The king of Israel who was responsible for building the temple in Jerusalem, following the instructions given by his father, David, and the plans inspired by God.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/temple_in_jerusalem.htm">Temple in Jerusalem</a></b><br>The central place of worship for the Israelites, where the presence of God dwelt.
