You shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold; their hooks shall be of gold, on four sockets of silver.

A Sacred, Separating Screen

Commentators explain that these four pillars were not mere tent poles but substantial, equally-spaced columns. Made of acacia wood overlaid with gold and set in heavy silver bases, they supported the veil to form a solid screen. This structure physically and visually separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place, emphasizing the profound holiness and separation of God's immediate presence.
