He entered by walking in.
During the Yom Kippur service in the Holy Temple, the Kohen Gadol entered the Kodesh Kodashim (Holy of Holies) several times, to sprinkle the blood of the goat and the bull, to offer up the incense, and (later the same day) to remove the incense-burner. For more detail, see Leviticus ch.16.

Does the Bible mention anything about holy water?

What did Jesus Christ reveal to us about the mystery of the Father?
In the Old Testament, the Jews didn't really have access to God the Father. Once a year, the high priest would get to go into the Holy of Holies, the most inner sanctuary of the temple. No one else could go in on pain of death. To the Old Testament Jews, 'God' must have felt like a taskmaster - inaccessible; extremely stern and just. However, Jesus is God in flesh, he was human, he went through trials. He got hungry, cold, sick, sad, and felt all human emotions. As hard as it is for us to understand, he was God and Man in one. He was loving and merciful; he hung out with the lowest of the low; he wasn't to proud to be with the poor and 'sinners' as the Pharisees called them.

Who went into the holy of holies in the temple in Jerusalem?
There hasn't been a temple in Jerusalem for 1932 years. When it did exist and was the central focus of the Jewish religion and culture, the single individual to ever enter the Holy of Holies was the Kohen Gadol ("high priest"), and he did so exactly one time in the year ... as a part of the service on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement).

What happens if the High priest dies in the most holy how does he get out?
they would tie a rope around his wast so if he dies in the Temple they can pull him out In the Second Temple period, some people who were unfit took the position of High Priest. When they entered the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur, they died, since they lacked the ability to handle the spiritual power of that place. The other priests had to devise a plan to pull the dead body out, since no one other than the High Priest was allowed to enter in the Holy of Holies. So they tied a golden rope to the High Priest's leg when he entered the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur. Those waiting outside the Holy of Holies would listen for the bells on the bottom of the High Priest's robe, to see if he was still alive. (sources: Zohar - Acharei Mot 67a, Emor 102a; Talmud - Yoma 53b; Me'am Loaz; Arbanel - Exodus 28:33)

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 is the meaning of holy of holies?
The Holy of Holies refers to the place in the Ancient Jewish Temple where it is believed that God actually resided. No one was allowed to enter this place (covered with a huge curtain) except the High Priest of the Temple. He was only allowed (by God) to "enter in" to that place once per year. When he DID go in, the other priests wrapped a rope around his waist, so that if something happened to him while in there (ie: heart attack, whatever), they could pull him back out, as no one else was ALLOWED to enter for any reason.
