Strong's Lexicon paroketh: Veil, Curtain Original Word: פֹרֶכֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root פָּרַךְ (parak), meaning "to break" or "to separate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2665 (καταπέτασμα, katapetasma): Refers to the veil or curtain in the Greek New Testament, particularly in the context of the Temple veil being torn at Jesus' crucifixion (e.g., Matthew 27:51, Hebrews 6:19). Usage: The term "paroketh" refers to the veil or curtain used in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple to separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place (Holy of Holies). It served as a physical and symbolic barrier between God’s presence and the people, emphasizing the holiness of God and the separation caused by sin. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israelite worship, the paroketh was a significant element of the Tabernacle and Temple. Made of fine linen and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, it was intricately woven with cherubim designs (Exodus 26:31). The veil represented the boundary between the divine and human realms, accessible only to the high priest once a year on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), when he would enter the Most Holy Place to offer sacrifices for the sins of the people (Leviticus 16:2-34).
