Copyright ® 2000 by Andrews University Press ISSN 0003-2980 A CALL FOR SHORT ARTICLES In this issue of AUSS we are pleased to introduce a new feature: short articles. In the future such articles may vary in length from one page up to the length of a full-sized article. A number of advantages to inclusion of such articles readily come to mind. First, increased flexibility means that the length of an article can more easily correlate with the nature of its topic. Second, a compact, high-quality article can get more "bang for the buck" by focusing on the author's innovation, without taking up a lot of space for yet another recital of interpretation history that is readily available elsewhere. Third, more writers can contribute a greater variety of articles. Fourth, due to the three factors just mentioned, short articles are efficient vehicles for valuable discussions/debates that might continue through successive issues of the journal. Readers are invited to submit original research articles of any length from a single page to the more traditional length of twenty to thirty pages. Those who may have considered writing for AUSS now have the opportunity of crafting an exquisite gem as brief as a single page. Roy E. Gane Andrews University Seminary Studies, Spring 2000, Vol. 38, No. 1, 5-8 Copyright 'D 2000 by Andrews University Press. RE-OPENING KATAPETASMA ("VEIL") IN HEBREWS 6:19 ROY E. GAME Andrews University Heb 6:19-20 reads: "[19]This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, a hope both sure and steadfast and one which enters within the veil (e Lc to ac,STEpoi, TOD KCCUCTTETO2CIPATOO, [20]where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek" (NASB). In his 1987 AUSS article entitled "Hebrews 6:19: Analysis of Some Assumptions Concerning Katapetasma," George Rice successfully demonstrated that in the Septuagint the word Kccrearkaaua can refer to any of three curtains/veils of the ancient Israelite sanctuary: the screen of the court (e.g. Exod 37:16 [ = MT & Eng. 38:18]; Num 3:26), the screen at the entrance to the sacred tent (e.g., Exod 26:37; 37:5 [= MT & Eng. 36:37D, and the inner veil that separated the holy of holies from the outer sanctum (e.g. Exod 26:31, 33, 34, 35).1 Having shown that Karcarracriloc, can have a variety of meanings, Rice maintained that in Heb 6:19 the word should be freed from the generally accepted idea that it is the inner/second veil,' and interpreted Katcarkaaua in this context as referring USS 25 (1987): 65-71. In his list of references to the courtyard veil, Rice indudes Exod 37:26, which appears to be a typographical error for Exod 37:16 (67 n. 9). Rice's article has been reprinted as Appendix B in Issues in the Book of Hebrews, ed. F. Holbrook, Daniel and Revelation Committee 4 (Silver Spring, MD: Biblical Research Institute, 1989), 229-234.

Matisyahu might have the market cornered on his particular niche of expression, that of reggae-tinged high-polish hip-hop beats with lyrical inspiration stemming from his roots in Hasidic Judaism and its traditions. While themes of belief, retribution, and religious tropes come through from time to time on fifth album Akeda, spirituality takes somewhat of a back seat to Matisyahu's huge beats and reggae-pop basslines, though each song comes across in a wash of positive sentiments and philosophical musing. The album runs back and forth between tunes steeped in traditional reggae influence such as "Black Heart" and the Collie Buddz guest-spotted "Confidence" and more pop-minded tunes like the brilliant horns of "Watch the Walls Melt Down" and the Coldplay-meets-Bruno Mars croon of "Ayeka (Teach Me to Love)." Matisyahu may be the only "Hasidic reggae superstar" (a distinction he makes in reference to himself on more than one of Akeda's tunes), but over the album's hour-plus running time he delivers such solidly catchy and meticulously produced pop music that much of its lyrical content and any deeper message get lost in the head- bobbing beats and pleasantly dubby basslines.
