The term "curtained" in the biblical context often refers to the use of curtains or veils in the construction and function of sacred spaces, particularly within the Tabernacle and the Temple. These curtains served both practical and symbolic purposes, delineating holy spaces and representing the separation between God and humanity due to sin.

The Tabernacle:

In the wilderness, God instructed Moses to build the Tabernacle, a portable sanctuary for worship. The Tabernacle was a tent-like structure, and its design included several layers of curtains. Exodus 26 provides detailed instructions for these curtains: "Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with cherubim skillfully worked into them" (Exodus 26:1, BSB). These curtains formed the walls and roof of the Tabernacle, creating a sacred space for the Israelites to encounter God.

The most significant curtain within the Tabernacle was the veil that separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place, or the Holy of Holies. This veil was a physical barrier that only the high priest could pass through, and only once a year on the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16:2). The presence of the veil underscored the holiness of God and the need for atonement and mediation.

The Temple:

Solomon's Temple, a more permanent structure built in Jerusalem, also featured curtains. The inner sanctuary, or the Most Holy Place, was separated by a curtain similar to that of the Tabernacle. In 2 Chronicles 3:14, it is recorded: "He made the veil of blue, purple, and crimson yarn and fine linen, with cherubim worked into it." This curtain continued the tradition of separating the divine presence from the people, emphasizing the sanctity of the space where the Ark of the Covenant was kept.

Symbolism and Fulfillment:

The curtain's symbolism reaches its fulfillment in the New Testament. At the moment of Jesus' death, the Gospel of Matthew records a significant event: "At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked, and the rocks were split" (Matthew 27:51, BSB). This tearing of the curtain signifies the removal of the barrier between God and humanity, achieved through the atoning sacrifice of Jesus Christ. It represents the new access believers have to God through faith in Christ, as described in Hebrews 10:19-20: "Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body."

Conclusion:

The concept of being "curtained" in the Bible is rich with theological significance, illustrating both the separation caused by sin and the reconciliation made possible through Christ. The curtains of the Tabernacle and Temple served as constant reminders of God's holiness and the need for a mediator, ultimately pointing to the redemptive work of Jesus.Bible Concordance • Bible Dictionary • Bible Encyclopedia • Topical Bible • Bible Thesuarus
