2 Chronicles 3:14 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

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, Hebrews 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.
