Middle Wall Of Partition [1]
( Μεσότοιχον Τοῦ Φραγμοῦ ) , an expression used by Paul to designate the Mosaic law as the dividing line between Jews and Gentiles ( Ephesians 2:14). Commentators are not exactly a greed as to the special point ‘ of the comparison, whether to the חֵיל , or sacred fence of stone pillars erected in the Temple to warn off all non-Jews (Josephas, Ἑρκίον Λιθίνου Δρυφάκτου , Ant. 15:11, 5), or the inner veil of the Most Holy Place ( 1 Kings 6:21, עַבֵּר , "he made a partition"), which was rent at the crucifixion ( Matthew 27:51; comp. Hebrews 10:20). (See Temple).
