EXODUS 36:37 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;”
For the entrance to the tent they made a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen — the work of an embroiderer. The entrance curtain is constructed exactly as Exodus 26:36 specified. The embroidery technique at the entrance (versus the woven cherubim at the veil) communicates the different character of the two thresholds: the entrance invites with its embroidered beauty; the veil guards with its woven cherubim. The approach to God moves through beauty into gravity — the embroidered entrance gives way to the guarded veil.
