Josephus says nothing of its thickness, but a later midrash seems to describe it as being as thick as a man's hand. This should be regarded as an exaggeration, since such an astounding dimension for a fine linen curtain would have attracted Josephus' attention and caused him to mention it in his very detailed description. Later rabbinic commentary tags this description as hyperbolic language.

How did the high priest get through the veil to enter the holy of holies in the Jewish tabernacle?
The veil of the temple was 3 inches thick and if you study out the veil and the history of the temple, you will find that it was the spirit of God that did the transferring. Just as when you or anybody really prays beyond the flesh and enters into that secret place with God so it is with the holy of holies. If you were not holy or consecrated unto God you could not get through the veil. Not once is a high priest killed in the Holy of Holies if you study it out you will find that.The priest would wait at the veil and God would transfer them from one side to the other by means of his spirit "only" if they were holy and he accepted them because of it. If he did not except the sacrifice the priest couldn't even get through the veil. Its a wonderful experience because the priest had to have blood in one hand on a laver and a incense in the other to sprinkle the blood on the ark and to offer the incense as a sweet prayer from the people. Neither could touch the ground and there is no opening in the veil contrary to belief so the spirit of the Lord did it.Jewish answer:The above answer is replete with mistakes:1) There were two veils between the Holy of Holies and the sanctuary, not just one.2) No "transferring" took place. Rather, the easternmost veil was folded back a little bit on its southern end, and the westernmost veil was folded back a little on its northern end. The Kohen Gadol would enter between the veils at the southern fold. He would walk between the veils (there was about 15 inches of space between them) until he reached the northern end. There, the folded-back edge of the inner veil enabled him to enter the Holy of Holies. This is described explicitly in the Mishna and Talmud (Yoma 51b and 52b).3) The Kohen did not carry the blood and the incense at the same time.

What would happen if you went behind the veil in the holy of holies?
A:A Roman general entered the Holy of Holies, expecting to find precious items of gold, silver and jewels. The room was empty - symbolically empty. The veil itself was described in considerable detail (Wars of the Jews, Book 5) by the historian, Josephus, who was a priest before 70 CE and would have been familiar with it. Interestingly, Josephus makes no mention of any damage to it, or any repairs, as anyone familiar with the gospel account would expect.
Where can you find in the bible how the priest got through the veil to enter the holy of holies?
In the King James version the word - veil - appears 7 times, but none of them give this information * Son 5:7 The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me. * Mat 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; * Mar 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. * Luk 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. * Heb 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; * Heb 9:3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; * Heb 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; the phrase - holy of holies - does not appear at all, nor indeed does the word - holies. Exodus 26 covers a lot of the description of the curtains involved - and Exodus 27 has more details on the temple, but not the information sought.
