Theological / Devotional

Vail. This formed the partition between the holy place and the holy of holies. In 1 Kings 6:21 this veil is not mentioned, but reference is made to a “partition” and “chains of gold before the oracle.” The veil was probably suspended from golden chains.

Blue, and purple, and crimson. The colors in the veil of the tabernacle were “blue, and purple, and scarlet” (Ex. 26:31).

Wrought cherubims. Figures of heavenly cherubim were worked into the tapestry of the veil (see Ex. 26:31).
