'''Paroketh''' ({{Hebrew|פָּרֹ֫כֶת}} "curtain, veil") is, according to the [[Kabbalah]] in the [[Sefirotree]], the veil below the sefira [[Tiferet]] (Beauty) that separates the [[soul world]] from the [[physical-etheric world]] respectively from the world of the [[four elements]] and thus is a lower analgon of [[Da'ath]] at the sheath of the [[spiritual world]] and the [[soul world]]. Paroketh is also called the '''veil of illusion''' or the ''water curtain'' and has its external equivalent in the [[temple curtain]] ({{Greek|καταπέτασμα}} ''katapetasma'') of [[Solomon's temple]], which separated the Holy of Holies from the temple in front and which was torn with the death of the [[Christ]] on [[Golgotha]] ({{B|Matthew|27:51}}, {{B|Mark|15:38}}, {{B|Luke|23:45}}). The first mention of this curtain is in {{B|Exodus|26:31}} in the instructions for building the tabernacle:

{{Quote|You shall make a curtain of blue and purple, scarlet and twined fine linen, and you shall weave in cherubim with skillful work ...

{{HeS|וְעָשִׂ֣יתָ פָרֹ֗כֶת תְּכֵ֧לֶת וְאַרְגָּמָ֛ן וְתֹולַ֥עַת שָׁנִ֖י וְשֵׁ֣שׁ מָשְׁזָ֑ר מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה חֹשֵׁ֛ב יַעֲשֶׂ֥ה אֹתָ֖הּ כְּרֻבִֽים׃}}|{{B|Exodus|26:31}}}}

Paroketh - similar to the [[Abyssus]] that separates the Devachan ([[Olam Atziluth]], Hebrew עולם אצילות, the world of sublimity) from the worlds below - acts at the same time as a filter and a mirror for the divine light streaming from the Ain Soph. A part of this light is reflected back to its origin, as it were, and only a smaller part penetrates the lower world levels in a weakened form. This dynamic of descending and ascending light is an essential principle of later Kabbalistic thought. What happens in the lower worlds thus has an effect on the higher worlds.
