The table below presents an aligned extract of verses or verselets
in
Ex26-33, Ex40-03.
Both verses/verselets
discuss
the Temple Paroceth curtain.
The alignment justifies the Rashi comment that:
The Paroceth curtain has two functions.
(#1)(Ex26-33) It functions as a divider between the Holy of Holies, containing
the Ark, containing the Torah itself, and the Holies, containing the Temple utensils
such as the Candellabrah, Table and Golden altar;
(#2) (Ex40-33) It functions as a protective covering protecting the Ark containing
the Torah. The Paroceth itself has pictures of the child-like Keruvim symbolizing that
after mastering the adult activities of knowledge (Candellabrah), earning a living (Table), and
devotion to God (Golden altar), one must develop a child-like curiosity to master and protect the
Torah.
