Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb פָּרַךְ (parak), meaning "to break apart" or "to separate."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2665 • καταπέτασμα (katapetasma): This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to the veil or curtain in the Temple, corresponding to the Hebrew פֹרֶכֶת. It appears in passages such as Hebrews 6:19, 9:3, and 10:20, where it is used to discuss the theological implications of the veil and its tearing at the crucifixion of Jesus. Usage: The term פֹרֶכֶת is used in the context of the Tabernacle and Temple, describing the veil that served as a physical and symbolic barrier between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept. This veil represented the separation between God and humanity due to sin. Context: The פֹרֶכֶת (poreketh) is a significant element in the design of the Tabernacle and later the Temple, as described in the Hebrew Bible. It was crafted from fine linen and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with cherubim skillfully woven into it (Exodus 26:31). The veil's primary function was to separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place, where the presence of God was believed to dwell above the Ark of the Covenant. Only the High Priest could pass beyond the veil, and only once a year on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), to offer sacrifices for the sins of the people (Leviticus 16:2, 15).
