Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Chronicles 3:14
And he made the veil [of] blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubims thereon.
14 (cp. Exo 26:31-32). The Vail
No vail for Solomon’s Temple is mentioned in 1 Kings, but (1Ki 6:31-32) doors of olive wood with cherubim carved upon them stood at the entrance of the Holy of Holies. The vail here described seems to have been borrowed by the Chronicler from the account of the tabernacle given in Exodus.

This is an important addition to the description in Kings, where the veil is not mentioned. It was made of exactly the same colors as the veil of the tabernacle Exo 26:31.

The veil between the holy place and the most holy, not mentioned in 1Ki 6:21, was made of the same materials and colours as the veil on the tabernacle, and was inwoven with similar cherub figures; cf. Exo 26:31. as in 2Ch 2:13. , to bring upon; an indefinite expression for: to weave into the material.

(14) The vail.The Prkheth, or curtain, which divided the holy place from the holy of holies, is not mentioned in the existing text of 1Ki. 6:21, which passage, however, speaks of the chains of gold by which the vail was probably suspended.

2Ch 3:14
“And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim thereon.”
(See the chapter heading for our perplexity regarding this verse.) Significantly, it is not stated that this veil sealed off the Holy of Holies, although it may be implied. Certainly that is what should have been done; but 1 Kings 6 indicates that olive-wood doors were used. One thing is certain, the Herodian temple had the veil.

2Ch 3:14. The veil constituted the partition between the holy and most holy rooms in the building. It served the same purpose as the vail in the tabernacle described in Exo 26:31-33.

2Ch 3:14. And he made the veil, &c. The inner veil, which parted between the holy and the most holy place. This denoted the darkness of that dispensation, and the distance at which the worshippers were kept. But at the death of Christ this veil was rent; for through him we are brought nigh, and have boldness, or , liberty, Heb 10:19, not only to look, but to enter into the holiest. And wrought cherubims thereon Hebrew, , vajagnal, he caused to ascend; that is, they were made in raised work, embossed, and appeared probably on the wing, in an ascending posture, to remind the worshippers to raise their thoughts and affections to God, and to soar upward in their devotions.
