Place the ark of the covenant law in it and shield the ark with the curtain. The first installation instruction is for the most sacred object: the ark in the Most Holy Place, shielded by the veil. The order of installation mirrors the order of construction: the innermost and most sacred first. The dwelling begins not with the building's exterior but with the place where God will meet His servant. The veil that shields the ark protects the approach to the most holy — the installation of the boundary before the approach is as intentional as its construction.
