Subject: When did the curtain rip? |
Bible Note: Dear CDBJ, Thank you for your response. Your question (thickness) may have answered mine. According to the Mishana, there were two curtains in Herod's Temple spaced a cubit apart. Thus, two curtains could be the two rippings that are shown in Matt/Mk and Luke. As for the thickness, it states (Bab., Shekalim 8:5) that "each curtain was a handsbreadth thick" (4"/10cm). |
