What Does Exodus 36:35 Mean?
This veil—the most important textile in the tabernacle—was crafted with the same colors and cherubim motifs as the inner curtains. It hung within the sanctuary, creating the boundary between where priests served and where God's presence dwelt in the holy of holies.
The cherubim embroidered throughout the veil represented the heavenly realm meeting the earthly sanctuary. Skilled hands created not mere decoration but a sacred threshold, a visible reminder of the separation between God's holiness and human access.
