|txtha=καταπετάσματος, τό ([[καταπετάννυμι]] to [[spread]] [[out]] [[over]], to [[cover]]), an Alex. Greek [[word]] for [[παραπέτασμα]]. [[which]] the [[other]] Greeks [[use]] from [[Herodotus]] down; a [[veil]] [[spread]] [[out]], a curtain — the [[name]] given in the Greek Scriptures, as [[well]] as in the writings of [[Philo]] and Josephus, to the [[two]] curtains in the [[temple]] at [[Jerusalem]] (τά καταπετάσματα, מָסָך) at the [[entrance]] of the [[temple]] separated the Holy [[place]] from the [[outer]] [[court]] (Josephus, b. j. 5,5, 4; it is called [[also]] τό [[κάλυμμα]] by the Sept. and [[Philo]], [[Philo]], vit. Moys. 3: §§ 5,9), the [[other]] [[veiled]] the [[holy of holies|Holy of Holies]] from the Holy [[place]] (in [[Hebrew]] the פָּרֹכֶת; ἐνδοτερον [[καταπέτασμα]], Josephus, Antiquities 8,3, 3; τό ἐσωτατον [[καταπέτασμα]] [[Philo]] de [[gig]]. § 12; by the Sept. and [[Philo]] [[this]] is called [[pre-eminently]] τό [[καταπέτασμα]], [[Philo]], vit. Moys. as [[above]]). This [[latter]] [[καταπέτασμα]] is the [[only]] [[one]] mentioned in the [[NT|N.T.]]: τό [[καταπέτασμα]] τοῦ ναοῦ, τό δεύτερον [[καταπέτασμα]], τό ἐσώτερον τοῦ καταπετάσματος (cf. the [[space]] [[more]] [[inward]] [[them]] the [[veil]], equivalent to 'the [[space]] [[within]] the [[veil]],' i. e. the [[holy of holies|Holy of Holies]], [[figuratively]] used of [[heaven]], as the true [[abode]] of God, [[καταπέτασμα]], in (Heb.) Hebrews 10:20>, [[because]], as the [[veil]] had to be removed in [[order]] [[that]] the [[high]] [[priest]] [[might]] [[enter]] the [[most]] [[holy]] [[part]] of the [[earthly]] [[temple]], so the [[body]] of Christ had to be removed by his [[death]] on the [[cross]], [[that]] an [[entrance]] [[might]] be opened [[into]] the fellowship of God in [[heaven]].
