The Watermark 19 / 26
Interior of Solomon's Temple with gold walls, the curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet, and the Ark of the Covenant beyond.
Inside the Temple, the curtain was woven of tekhelet blue, argaman purple, and tola'at shani scarlet — the three colors of heaven, royalty, and the earth. Behind the curtain stood the Ark of the Covenant, its lid guarded by two golden cherubim with their wings almost touching. One day, a far deeper curtain would tear in two.
