The Veil and Screen

31 “You shall make (A)a veil of [a]blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen; it shall be made with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman. 32 You shall [b]hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, their hooks also being of gold, on four [c]sockets of silver. 33 You shall [d]hang up the veil under the clasps, and shall bring in (B)the ark of the testimony there within the veil; and the veil shall [e]serve for you as a partition (C)between the holy place and the holy of holies. 34 (D)You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the holy of holies. 35 (E)You shall set the table outside the veil, and the (F)lampstand opposite the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south; and you shall put the table on the north side.

36 (G)You shall make a screen for the doorway of the tent of [f]blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a [g]weaver. 37 (H)You shall make five pillars of acacia for the screen and overlay them with gold, their hooks also being of gold; and you shall cast five [h]sockets of [i]bronze for them.
