veil

³³And having completed these words, he placed a veil over his face. ³⁴But when he entered to the Lord and was speaking with him, he took it off, until he exited. And then he spoke to the sons of Israel all that had been commanded to him. ³⁵And they saw that the face of Moses, when he came out, was radiant, but he covered his face again, whenever he spoke to them.

⁷And he will cast down violently, on this mountain, the face of the chains, with which all peoples had been bound, and the net, with which all nations had been covered.

¹³and not as Moses did, in placing a veil over his face, so that the sons of Israel would not gaze intently at his face. This was ineffective, ¹⁴for their minds were obtuse. And, even until this present day, the very same veil, in the readings from the Old Testament, remains not taken away (though, in Christ, it is taken away). ¹⁵But even until today, when Moses is read, a veil is still set over their hearts. ¹⁶But when they will have been converted to the Lord, then the veil shall be taken away.

³¹You shall also make a veil of hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen, wrought with a diversity of continuous and beautiful embroidery. ³²And you shall suspend it before four columns of setim wood, which themselves certainly shall be overlaid with gold, and have heads of gold, but bases of silver. ³³Then the veil shall be inserted through the rings. Beyond the veil, you shall place the ark of the testimony, where both the Sanctuary and the Sanctuary of Sanctuaries shall be divided.

⁶⁵And she said to the servant, “Who is that man who advances to meet us through the field?” And he said to her, “That is my lord.” And so, quickly taking up her cloak, she covered herself.

²And he instructed him, saying: Speak to your brother Aaron, so that he may not, at any time, enter into the Sanctuary, which is within the veil, before the propitiatory by which the ark is covered, so that he may not die, (for I will appear in a cloud above the oracle)

¹⁹And so, brothers, have faith in the entrance into the Holy of Holies by the blood of Christ, ²⁰and in the new and living Way, which he has initiated for us by the veil, that is, by his flesh, ²¹and in the Great Priest over the house of God. ²²So, let us draw near with a true heart, in the fullness of faith, having hearts cleansed from an evil conscience, and bodies absolved with clean water.

⁵⁰Then Jesus, crying out again with a loud voice, gave up his life. ⁵¹And behold, the veil of the temple was torn into two parts, from top to bottom. And the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split apart.

⁴⁵And the sun was obscured. And the veil of the temple was torn down the middle.

³Then, beyond the second veil, was the tabernacle, which is called the Holy of Holies,

¹⁶But when they will have been converted to the Lord, then the veil shall be taken away.

⁷I rose up in order to open to my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, and my fingers were full of the finest myrrh.

¹⁹This we have as an anchor of the soul, safe and sound, which advances even to the interior of the veil,

¹⁸Yet truly, all of us, as we gaze upon the unveiled glory of the face of the Lord, are transfigured into the same image, from one glory to another. And this is done by the Spirit of the Lord.

²⁰and in the new and living Way, which he has initiated for us by the veil, that is, by his flesh,
