Greek Commentary for Hebrews 9:3
The first veil opened from outside into the Holy Place, the second veil opened from the Holy Place into the Holy of Holies The word καταπετασμα katapetasma is from καταπεταννυμι katapetannumi to spread down, and we have already had it in Hebrews 6:19. Cf. also Matthew 27:51. [source]
According to Exodus 26:31-37there were two veils, the one before the door of the tent and the other before the sanctuary. After passing the first veil and entering the tent, the worshipper would see before him the second veil behind which was the holy of holies. The writer calls this also a tabernacle, Hebrews 9:2.

Const. the participle εἰσερχομένην enteringwith anchor. Ἐσώτερον only here and Acts 16:24. Comparative, of something farther within. So ἐσωτέραν φυλακήν “the inner prison,” Acts 16:24. Καταπέτασμα veiloClass. Commonly in N.T. of the veil of the temple or tabernacle. See Matthew 27:51; Hebrews 9:3. That within the veil is the unseen, eternal reality of the heavenly world. Two figures are combined: (a) the world a sea; the soul a ship; the hidden bottom of the deep the hidden reality of the heavenly world. (b) The present life the forecourt of the temple; the future blessedness the shrine within the veil. The soul, as a tempest-tossed ship, is held by the anchor: the soul in the outer court of the temple is fastened by faith to the blessed reality within the shrine. [source]
Genitive absolute with present active participle of δηλοω dēloō to make plain. Used as in Hebrews 12:27. The way into the Holy place Here as in Hebrews 9:12, Hebrews 9:25 των αγιων tōn hagiōn is used for the very Presence of God as in Hebrews 8:2 and is in the objective genitive. οδον Hodon is the accusative of general reference with the infinitive. Hath not yet been made manifest Perfect passive infinitive of πανεροω phaneroō to make plain Another genitive absolute with present active participle of εχω echō (having standing στασιν stasin), “the first tabernacle still having a place.” The veil at the entrance kept the people out of the first tent as the second veil (Hebrews 9:3) kept the priests out of the Holy of Holies (the very Presence of God).
