Put the lampstand opposite the table, on the south side. Make a curtain for the entrance of the tent. Use blue, purple and red material and good linen to make it.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 36A hanging for the door of the tent - This may be called the first veil, as it occupied the door or entrance to the tabernacle; the veil that separated the holy place from the holy of holies is called the second veil, Hebrews 9:3.
