What Does Exodus 40:5 Mean?
The incense altar stands before the vail, representing the prayers and worship of the people rising before God's presence. Its placement just outside the holy of holies makes it a bridge between the earthly realm and the divine.
The entrance hanging (curtain) controls access to the tabernacle itself. Only the high priest may enter the holy of holies, and only specific people may enter the outer sanctum.
