hanging.This may be termed the first vail, as it occupied the door or entrance to the tabernacle; the vail that separated the Holy of Holies is called the second vail, Heb 9:3.
Mr. Morier, (Second Journey Through Persia, p. 251,) describing the tent of a chief of the Eelauts, says, "It was composed of a wooden frame of circular laths, which were fixed on the ground, and then covered over with large felts, that were fastened down by a cord, ornamented by tassels of various colours.
A curtain, curiously worked by the women, with coarse needle-work of various colours, was suspended over the door. In the king of Persia's tents, magnificent {perdahs,} or hangings of needle-work, are suspended, as well as on the doors of the great mosques in Turkey; and these circumstances combined, will, perhaps, illustrate Ex 26:36."

Ex. 26:31• 31And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made: (Ex. 26:31)
• Its materials correspond with those of the beautiful veil. But there is one important difference. There were no cherubim embroidered on the “hanging.” Otherwise it was the same; and hence the typical teaching of the one will apply to the other. What, then, is the significance of the omission of the cherubim? These, it will be remembered, set forth the Son of Man in His judicial character. The “hanging,” then, equally with the veil, is a figure of Christ—with His judicial character carefully excluded. The reason is obvious. In the “hanging” He is presented in grace, to those that were without, as the way into the position and privileges of priests, as the way into the presence of God in this character. (“The Beautiful Veil: Exodus 26:31-37” by E. Dennett)
