Exodus 26:31-35

31 "Make a curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen. Have a design of angel-cherubim woven into it by a skilled craftsman.

32 Fasten it with gold hooks to four posts of acacia wood covered with a veneer of gold, set on four silver bases.

33 After hanging the curtain from the clasps, bring the Chest of The Testimony in behind the curtain. The curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Holy-of-Holies.

34 Now place the Atonement-Cover lid on the Chest of The Testimony in the Holy-of-Holies.

35 Place the Table and the Lampstand outside the curtain, the Lampstand on the south side of The Dwelling and the Table opposite it on the north side.
