Heb 9: 3 refers to the veil in the tabernacle, and Heb 10: 20 contrasts it with a “new and living way” “through the veil, that is, his flesh” - our access is not only on account of the death of Jesus but because a living Man has entered in, and we through and in Him. The epistle to the Hebrews does not say this veil is rent; nor does it mention Herod’s temple: it is this latter veil that was rent, speaking of God’s coming out at the cross and bringing to an end a system in which we have no part.
