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

Answered in 1 source

The veil of the tabernacle symbolized the separation between God and man, and only the high priest could enter through it once a year.

The veil of the tabernacle, described in Numbers 4, was a significant barrier indicating the holiness of God and the limitations of humanity. It represented the separation between God and His people, with only the high priest allowed to pass through it to offer sacrifices on the Day of Atonement. The veil itself was made of fine twined linen, adorned with blue, purple, and scarlet threads, symbolizing the glory of Christ's work as our mediator. Moreover, in Hebrews 10:19-20, it is emphasized that this veil represents Christ's flesh, through which believers gain access to the holy presence of God.
