In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law, Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning before the Lord from evening till morning. This is to be a lasting ordinance among the Israelites for the generations to come.

Put the altar in front of the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law—before the atonement cover that is over the tablets of the covenant law—where I will meet with you.

the ark with its poles and the atonement cover and the curtain that shields it;

the covering of ram skins dyed red and the covering of another durable leather and the shielding curtain;

Place the ark of the covenant law in it and shield the ark with the curtain.

Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle and hung the shielding curtain and shielded the ark of the covenant law, as the Lord commanded him.
