Context of Exodus 26:34
32Hang it on four gold-plated pillars of acacia wood that have gold hooks and that stand on four silver bases. 33Hang the curtain under the clasps and bring the ark of the testimony there behind the curtain, so the curtain will make a separation for you between the holy place and the most holy place. Put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place. 35Place the table outside the curtain and the lampstand on the south side of the tabernacle, opposite the table; put the table on the north side. 36“For the entrance to the tent you are to make a screen embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen.
