The canopy will mark off the most holy place from the holy place. 34Put the throne of mercy that is on the ark in the most holy place. “Place the table outside the canopy on the north side of the inner tent, and put the lamp stand opposite the table on the south side. 36“For the entrance of the outer tent, make a screen out of fine linen yarn, embroidered with violet, purple, and bright red yarn. 37Make five posts of acacia wood for the screen and cover them with gold. Make gold hooks for this screen. Cast five bronze bases for the posts.”
