Context of Exodus 26:33

31Use blue, purple and red material and good linen to make a special curtain. A worker must use special skills to make pictures of cherubs on it. 32Use gold rings to hang the curtain from four poles of acacia wood. Cover these poles with gold. Then fix them on four silver bases. Hang the top of the curtain from the rings. Put the Covenant Box behind the curtain, in the Most Holy Place. The curtain will hang between the Most Holy Place and the Holy Place so that they are separate. 34Put the special lid on the Covenant Box, in the Most Holy Place. 35Put the special table in the Holy Place, outside the curtain. It will be on the north side of the tabernacle. Put the lampstand opposite the table, on the south side.
