Exodus 26:32

30 So you are to set up the tabernacle according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.

31 Make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it.

Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood, overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases.

33 And hang the veil from the clasps and place the ark of the Testimony behind the veil. So the veil will separate the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place.

34 Put the mercy seat on the ark of the Testimony in the Most Holy Place.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
