Vail, the Sacred

Made by Bezaleel for the tabernacle.

THE HIGH PRIEST

Alone allowed to enter within.

Allowed to enter but once a year.

Of the flesh of Christ which concealed His divinity.
Hebrews 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

Isaiah 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
(Rending of,) of the death of Christ which opened heaven to saints.
Hebrews 10:19-20 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
