Exodus 26:31-37: The Veils of the Tabernacle

This section describes God’s command to make two veils for the tabernacle. The first veil separated the holy place from the most holy place, hiding the ark of the testimony and the mercy seat. The second veil was for the entrance to the tabernacle. These veils had special spiritual meaning under the old covenant, showing that access to God was limited and that divine grace was hidden until Christ. The veils were richly made, showing the importance of the worship and the separation between God and the people (Exodus 26:31-37 a).

v. 31: God ordered a special veil to be made from blue, purple, and scarlet thread, along with fine linen. It was to be carefully designed with cherubim woven into it. This veil marked a clear boundary between the holy place and the most holy place, showing that people could not just enter God’s presence whenever they wanted .
