Parsha 45 "And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet" Torah Perpetua

We are always mesmerized by the veil of blue, purple, and scarlet. Why ?

Because we know that His glory is behind the curtain.

Exodus Chapter 36 שְׁמוֹת
לה וַיַּעַשׂ, אֶת-הַפָּרֹכֶת, תְּכֵלֶת וְאַרְגָּמָן וְתוֹלַעַת שָׁנִי, וְשֵׁשׁ מָשְׁזָר; מַעֲשֵׂה חֹשֵׁב עָשָׂה אֹתָהּ, כְּרֻבִים. 35
And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; with the cherubim the work of the skilful workman made he it.

לו וַיַּעַשׂ לָהּ, אַרְבָּעָה עַמּוּדֵי שִׁטִּים, וַיְצַפֵּם זָהָב, וָוֵיהֶם זָהָב; וַיִּצֹק לָהֶם, אַרְבָּעָה אַדְנֵי-כָסֶף. 36
And he made thereunto four pillars of acacia, and overlaid them with gold, their hooks being of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.

לז וַיַּעַשׂ מָסָךְ לְפֶתַח הָאֹהֶל, תְּכֵלֶת וְאַרְגָּמָן וְתוֹלַעַת שָׁנִי וְשֵׁשׁ מָשְׁזָר, מַעֲשֵׂה, רֹקֵם. 37
And he made a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the weaver in colours;

לח וְאֶת-עַמּוּדָיו חֲמִשָּׁה וְאֶת-וָוֵיהֶם, וְצִפָּה רָאשֵׁיהֶם וַחֲשֻׁקֵיהֶם זָהָב; וְאַדְנֵיהֶם חֲמִשָּׁה, נְחֹשֶׁת. {פ} 38
and the five pillars of it with their hooks; and he overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold; and their five sockets were of brass. {P}

Exodus Chapter 37 שְׁמוֹת
א וַיַּעַשׂ בְּצַלְאֵל אֶת-הָאָרֹן, עֲצֵי שִׁטִּים: אַמָּתַיִם וָחֵצִי אָרְכּוֹ, וְאַמָּה וָחֵצִי רָחְבּוֹ, וְאַמָּה וָחֵצִי, קֹמָתוֹ. 1

And Bezalel made the ark of acacia-wood: 

two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.

ב וַיְצַפֵּהוּ זָהָב טָהוֹר, מִבַּיִת וּמִחוּץ; וַיַּעַשׂ לוֹ זֵר זָהָב, סָבִיב. 2 

And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.

ג וַיִּצֹק לוֹ, אַרְבַּע טַבְּעֹת זָהָב, עַל, אַרְבַּע פַּעֲמֹתָיו; וּשְׁתֵּי טַבָּעֹת, עַל-צַלְעוֹ הָאֶחָת, וּשְׁתֵּי טַבָּעֹת, עַל-צַלְעוֹ הַשֵּׁנִית. 3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, in the four feet thereof: 

even two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

ד וַיַּעַשׂ בַּדֵּי, עֲצֵי שִׁטִּים; וַיְצַף אֹתָם, זָהָב. 4 

And he made staves of acacia-wood, and overlaid them with gold.

ה וַיָּבֵא אֶת-הַבַּדִּים בַּטַּבָּעֹת, עַל צַלְעֹת הָאָרֹן, לָשֵׂאת, אֶת-הָאָרֹן. 5 

And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

ו וַיַּעַשׂ כַּפֹּרֶת, זָהָב טָהוֹר: אַמָּתַיִם וָחֵצִי אָרְכָּהּ, וְאַמָּה וָחֵצִי רָחְבָּהּ. 6 

And he made an ark-cover of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

ז וַיַּעַשׂ שְׁנֵי כְרֻבִים, זָהָב; מִקְשָׁה עָשָׂה אֹתָם, מִשְּׁנֵי קְצוֹת הַכַּפֹּרֶת. 7 

And he made two cherubim of gold: 

of beaten work made he them, at the two ends of the ark-cover:

ח כְּרוּב-אֶחָד מִקָּצָה מִזֶּה, וּכְרוּב-אֶחָד מִקָּצָה מִזֶּה; מִן-הַכַּפֹּרֶת עָשָׂה אֶת-הַכְּרֻבִים, מִשְּׁנֵי קצוותו (קְצוֹתָיו). 8 

one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end; of one piece with the ark-cover made he the cherubim at the two ends thereof.

ט וַיִּהְיוּ הַכְּרֻבִים פֹּרְשֵׂי כְנָפַיִם לְמַעְלָה, סֹכְכִים בְּכַנְפֵיהֶם עַל-הַכַּפֹּרֶת, וּפְנֵיהֶם, אִישׁ אֶל-אָחִיו; אֶל-הַכַּפֹּרֶת--הָיוּ, פְּנֵי הַכְּרֻבִים. {פ} 9 

And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, screening the ark-cover with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the ark-cover were the faces of the cherubim. {P}

י וַיַּעַשׂ אֶת-הַשֻּׁלְחָן, עֲצֵי שִׁטִּים: אַמָּתַיִם אָרְכּוֹ וְאַמָּה רָחְבּוֹ, וְאַמָּה וָחֵצִי קֹמָתוֹ. 10 

And he made the table of acacia-wood: 

two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

יא וַיְצַף אֹתוֹ, זָהָב טָהוֹר; וַיַּעַשׂ לוֹ זֵר זָהָב, סָבִיב. 11 

And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereto a crown of gold round about.

יב וַיַּעַשׂ לוֹ מִסְגֶּרֶת טֹפַח, סָבִיב; וַיַּעַשׂ זֵר-זָהָב לְמִסְגַּרְתּוֹ, סָבִיב. 12 

And he made unto it a border of a hand-breadth round about, and made a golden crown to the border thereof round about.

יג וַיִּצֹק לוֹ, אַרְבַּע טַבְּעֹת זָהָב; וַיִּתֵּן, אֶת-הַטַּבָּעֹת, עַל אַרְבַּע הַפֵּאֹת, אֲשֶׁר לְאַרְבַּע רַגְלָיו. 13 

And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that were on the four feet thereof.
