⁷ He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.

¹⁸ being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts;

¹⁹ Having therefore, brothers, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,

²⁰ by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

²¹ and having a great priest over the house of God,

²⁴ For Christ hasn't entered into holy places made with hands, which are representations of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

⁸ The Holy Spirit is indicating this, that the way into the Holy Place wasn't yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing;

⁸ For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

⁵ which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

⁶ that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Gospel,

¹³ and not as Moses, who put a veil on his face, that the children of Israel wouldn't look steadfastly on the end of that which was passing away.

¹⁴ But their minds were hardened, for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, because in Christ it passes away.

¹⁵ But to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart.

¹⁶ But whenever one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.

¹⁷ Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

¹⁸ But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

³⁰ The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But now he commands that all people everywhere should repent,

³² A light for revelation to the Gentiles, And the glory of your people Israel."

⁵¹ Behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split.

¹ Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of Yahweh is risen on you.

² For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Yahweh will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you.

³ Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
