Exodus 26:34

Most Holy Place

32 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.

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

35 And place the table outside the veil on the north side of the tabernacle, and put the lampstand opposite the table, on the south side.

36 For the entrance to the tent, you are to make a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen.

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.
