How was the tabernacle veil made according to Exodus 36?

According to Exodus 36, the veil was made of blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine twine linen, with cherubims made of cunning work. It hung on four pillars of acacia wood overlaid with gold, with hooks of gold and four sockets of silver.

Les explains that Exodus 36:35 describes the veil as made of blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine twine linen, with cherubims of cunning work. He notes it was supported by four pillars of acacia wood overlaid with gold, having golden hooks and four sockets of silver. Les teaches that this veil pictured the very body of Christ and separated the Holy of Holies from the main sanctuary, hiding God's presence from the priests; only the high priest entered behind it once a year.
