Context of Exodus 26:32
30You are to set up the tabernacle according to the plan that you were shown on the mountain. 31“You are to make a special curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen; it is to be made with cherubim, the work of an artistic designer. You are to hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood overlaid with gold, set in four silver bases. 33You are to hang this curtain under the clasps and bring the ark of the testimony in there behind the curtain. The curtain will make a division for you between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. 34You are to put the atonement lid on the ark of the testimony in the Most Holy Place.
