The Veil

The veil is made and hung on gold-covered posts, then used to separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. The ark and mercy seat stand within, while the table and lampstand are placed outside it in ordered positions.

M³¹ake a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it. ³²Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood, overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases. ³³And hang the veil from the clasps and place the ark of the Testimony behind the veil. So the veil will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place. ³⁴Put the mercy seat on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place. ³⁵And place the table outside the veil on the north side of the tabernacle, and put the lampstand opposite the table, on the south side.
