Exodus 26:31 says,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:   The veils were to separate the holy place from the most holy place.  Only priest were allowed to go beyond the first veil.  There was limited access to God's holiest place.  This is the veil that was wrent in two when Jesus died for our sins, and as follows of Christ, we are all a part of the priesthood of believers.  Through our faith in Christ, nothing stands between God and us.  Verse thirty-two states, And thou shalt hang it upon four pillars of shittim wood overlaid with gold: their hooks shall be of gold, upon the four sockets of silver.  Then verse thirty-three adds, And thou shalt hang up the vail under the taches, that thou mayest bring in thither within the vail the ark of the testimony: and the vail shall divide unto you between the holy place and the most holy.  The ark of testimony was to be behind the veil, which separated the holy place from the most holy place.  Verse thirty-four says, And thou shalt put the mercy seat upon the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.  The mercy seat was to be placed on the ark of the covenant,in the most holy place.  When we come to God through His mercy shown to us through the death of Christ on the cross, we see God at His most holiest.  Verse thirty-five states, And thou shalt set the table without the vail, and the candlestick over against the table on the side of the tabernacle toward the south: and thou shalt put the table on the north side.  Verse thirty-six says, And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.  Then verse thirty-seven adds, And thou shalt make for the hanging five pillars of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold, and their hooks shall be of gold: and thou shalt cast five sockets of brass for them.  There was to be an ornate covering for the door.
