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 παρρησια, liberty, Heb 10:19, not only to look, but to enter into the holiest. And wrought cherubims thereon — Hebrew, ויעל, 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.

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 ([Antiquities?] viii. 2., and xii. 10.) clearly intimates; and St. Paul speaks of the second veil, Hebrews ix. 3. It is not certain which of them was torn at the death of Jesus Christ, Matthew xxvii. 51. Cherubims; extraordinary figures. (Calmet)

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.

The veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen. (Exo_26:31, Exo_26:33, 35 36:35 40:3, 21) It is remarkable that our parallel (1Ki 6) does not make mention of the veil, though a feature of which so much was always made (Mat_27:51; Mar_15:38 Luk_23:45; Heb_6:19 Heb_9:3) On the other hand, it is remarkable that our present passage does not make mention of the folding "doors of olive tree," which, with "the veil," intercepted the approach to the oracle, (1Ki_6:31, 1Ki_6:32) nor of the partition walls (1Ki_6:16) in which they were situate, nor of the "partition chains (1Ki_6:21) of gold before the oracle."
