The Holy Place and the Most Holy Place

God told Moses to make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine linen in blue, purple, and scarlet, with cherubim woven into them by skilled workers. The curtains were joined with fifty gold clasps, so the tabernacle would be one whole tent.

Over it went a tent of goat hair, then a cover of rams' skins dyed red, and another fine leather cover on top. The walls were made of acacia boards covered with gold. Each board stood in two silver bases. Gold bars held the boards together.

God told Moses to make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet with cherubim on it. It hung on four gold pillars. Behind the veil was the most holy place, where the ark would go. Outside the veil was the holy place. The table would stand on the north side and the lampstand on the south side. A colorful screen would hang at the door of the tent. God said, You shall set up the tabernacle according to the way that it was shown to you on the mountain.
