What does the Bible say about the veil in the tabernacle?

Answered in 4 sources

The veil in the tabernacle symbolized the separation between God and man due to sin, with access to God only attainable through Christ.

The veil, as described in Exodus 26, represents a divine separation between God and man, illustrating that sin has created a barrier. God provided specific instructions for the veil's construction, signifying its importance in God's worship system. It was made of fine twine linen with cherubim, embodying the holiness and beauty of God, and enforcing that only the high priest could enter behind it into the Holy of Holies, where God's presence dwelt. This foreshadows Jesus Christ, who serves as the ultimate mediator, offering a new and living way for believers to access God.
