And thou shalt make a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen of cunning work: with cherubims shall it be made:
A veil ... This veil, which was embroidered in the same way as the inner covering on the roof of the tabernacle, was suspended on four pillars of acacia wood, overlaid with gold, placed two cubits and a half distant from the other; and they stood on sockets of silver, instead of sockets of brass. It formed a division of the tabernacle into the holy and the most holy place-the former containing three notable objects-namely, the candlestick and the table on the north side of the altar of incense; while the latter was distinguished by possessing the ark, the mercy-seat, and cherubim.
