Context

The Veil

³⁴Put the mercy seat on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place.³⁵And place the table outside the veil on the north side of the tabernacle, and put the lampstand opposite the table, on the south side.

Summary

This verse describes the inner sanctuary of the tabernacle, known as the Most Holy Place, where the Ark of the Covenant was to be placed. The curtain separating this sacred space from the Holy Place symbolizes the separation between God's holiness and humanity's sinfulness. The Ark of the Covenant, representing God's presence among His people, was to be located behind this curtain. This setup highlights the reverence and awe with which the Israelites were to approach God, recognizing His holiness and their need for purification and atonement.
