This is clear from the meaning of 'the veil', which hung between the holy place and the holy of holies before the ark, as the intermediary uniting the second and the third heavens, dealt with in 9670, 9671; and from the meaning of 'the ark of the Testimony' as the inmost heaven, dealt with in 9485. The tent, divided into the place inside the veil and that outside the veil, together with the court, represented the three heavens, see 9457, 9481, 9485, 9741.
