"Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say his flesh." (Hebrews 10:19-20)
"Veil" comes from the root word to weave. Related words are unveil, revelation, membrane. Veil, as used in scripture, is the piece of precious cloth separating the sanctuary from the body of the temple or tabernacle (Oxford English Dictionary). Veil is often used symbolically to describe the division between heaven and earth, less holy and more holy, the mind and the body, or the soul and the body.
