| Geneva Study Bible And after {b} the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the {c} Holiest of all; (b) He calls it the second veil, not because there were two veils, but because it was behind the sanctuary or the first tabernacle. (c) The holiest sanctuary. People's New Testament 9:3 After the second veil. The first veil was over the door into the holy place. The second veil separated the holy place from the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all. The Most Holy Place, with the innermost recess, the Holiest Place in the worship of Israel. Wesley's Notes 9:3 The second veil divided the holy place from the most holy, as the first veil did the holy place from the courts. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 3. And-Greek, "But." after-behind; within. second veil-There were two veils or curtains, one before the Holy of Holies (catapetasma), here alluded to, the other before the tabernacle door (calumma). called-as opposed to "the true." Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 9:1-5 The apostle shows to the Hebrews the typical reference of their ceremonies to Christ. The tabernacle was a movable temple, shadowing forth the unsettled state of the church upon earth, and the human nature of the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom the fulness of the Godhead dwelt bodily. The typical meaning of these things has been shown in former remarks, and the ordinances and articles of the Mosaic covenant point out Christ as our Light, and as the Bread of life to our souls; and remind us of his Divine Person, his holy priesthood, perfect righteousness, and all-prevailing intercession. Thus was the Lord Jesus Christ, all and in all, from the beginning. And as interpreted by the gospel, these things are a glorious representation of the wisdom of God, and confirm faith in Him who was prefigured by them. |
