And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.
Two veils here, not one: the inner veil hid the holiest place entirely from sight, signifying that divine grace was veiled under law; but Christ rent it, and now we approach the throne with boldness through His blood. The outer veil guarded the tabernacle like a curtain with no lock or bar, yet God's care of His weak church proved stronger than gates of brass.

Commenting on Exodus 26:31-37
Eastern chiefs hang rich embroidered curtains at their tent doors, and the tabernacle entrance was finished in the same elegant style, fit for God and King of Israel. The door faced east so that worshippers turned their faces west, away from the sun-idol that captivated the nations, toward the God who made both sun and people.
