In the Bible, curtains were thick, heavy pieces of material used in the construction of the tabernacle during Israel's desert wanderings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Thick, heavy curtains made of materials such as animal skins and cloth formed the top and sides of the tabernacle building.
|
||
|
|
* There was a curtain that separated the holy place from the most holy place in the tabernacle and then later in the temple.
|
||
|
|
* It was this curtain in the temple that was miraculously torn from top to bottom when Jesus died.
|
||
|
|
* In some English Bible versions, this curtain of the inner sanctuary is also called a veil, which has the meaning of concealing or hiding from view..
