A Symbol of Holy Separation
Commentators explain that the veil physically separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place, where God's presence dwelt. This partition wasn't just architectural; it symbolized God's profound holiness and the separation caused by sin. It taught the Israelites to approach God with reverence and awe, reminding them that direct access was not yet possible while the old covenant stood.
