ExplanationCommentary
Verse 14. A veil. Abulensis places it between the court and the holy: but Jansenius would have it before the holy of holies. It seems rather that there was a veil in both places, (Barad. t. ii. b. iii. 23. Menochius.) as Josephus (viii. 2 and xii. 10.) clearly intimates; and Saint Paul speaks of the second veil. Hebrews 9:3. It is not certain which of them was torn at the death of Jesus Christ. Matthew 27:51. Cherubims; extraordinary figures. Calmet.
