Question¶

What does Hebrews 6:19-20 mean by "within the veil" (esoteron tou katapetasmatos)? Does katapetasma refer to the first or second veil? How does the LXX use katapetasma? When the author says Jesus entered as "forerunner" (prodromos), does this mean He entered the most holy place at ascension? Compare with Heb 9:3, 9:6-8, 9:12, 9:24, 10:19-20. Two-apartment spatial model or two-covenant temporal model? How does Melchizedek king-priest typology explain sitting while serving?
