This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And after the second veil: this distinguisheth the second tabernacle from the first; for, passing through it to the end of it, there hung up a curious veil made of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, with figures of cherubims, Exo_26:31,32 36:35,36 40:21. The mystery of which is interpreted after, Heb_9:8: see Heb_6:19. A veil noteth distance and obscurity; or, covering, opposite to that which is open and free.
The tabernacle which is called the holiest of all: behind this veil was the second tabernacle, called the holy of holiest, Exo_26:33, by God himself, which did really, though typically, hold out the place of God’s special appearance for propitiation and gracious answers of peace to the desires of his people in the Lord Jesus; applied afterwards to heaven itself, the holiest of all, where the High Priest is entered for us, and sits at the right hand of his Father, making intercession for us, Heb_6:19,20 7:25 9:24 10:19.
