curtain

Definition

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..
