What does the veil teach us about God's holiness?

Answered in 1 source

The veil illustrates God's holiness and the seriousness of sin that separates humanity from Him.

The veil serves as a powerful illustration of God's holiness and the separation resulting from sin. In Exodus 26:33, it is made clear that the veil was to divide the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place where God's Shekinah glory dwelled. This separation is a reminder that God is holy and cannot dwell with sin. The initial command of 'come not' (Leviticus 16:2) reinforces the idea that sinful man cannot enter into God's presence without proper atonement. The veil's existence points to the need for a mediator and a sacrifice to restore fellowship with God, which is ultimately fulfilled in Christ, who becomes our perfect High Priest.
