Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle and hung the shielding curtain and shielded the ark of the covenant law, as the Lord commanded Moses. The ark is carried into the tabernacle and the veil is hung to shield it: the most sacred object in its most sacred location, protected by the most sacred boundary. As the Lord commanded Moses — the formula confirms the fidelity of the installation of the most important piece. Hebrews 9:3 describes this inner sanctum as the Most Holy Place — Moses' installation of the ark and veil creates the space that Hebrews uses to explain the entirety of Christ's priestly work.
