Commentary on Exodus 40:21
The veil (פָּרֹכֶת, parokhet) screening the ark creates the Most Holy Place (קֹדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים, qodesh haQodashim, Holy of Holies), separating God's immediate presence from sinful humanity. The verb סָכַךְ (sakhakh, covered/screened) emphasizes protective barrier—sin cannot approach holiness without mediation. Only the high priest entered, once yearly with blood (Leviticus 16), prefiguring Christ's entry 'once for all' (Hebrews 9:12, ἐφάπαξ). The veil's tearing at Christ's death (Matthew 27:51) opened permanent access through His torn body (Hebrews 10:19-20).
