The Curtain inside the Sacred Tent

(Exodus 36.35-38)

The Lord said:

31-33 (A) Make a curtain to separate the holy place from the most holy place. Use fine linen woven with blue, purple, and red wool, and embroidered with figures of winged creatures. Cover four acacia wood posts with gold and set them each on a silver stand. Then fasten gold hooks to the posts and hang the curtain there.

34 Inside the most holy place, put the sacred chest that has the place of mercy on its lid.[a]
