He brought saplings with him to Egypt which he planted and ordered his children to take the wood with them when they left Egypt. The Aron is to be put into the Holy of Holies. The Shulchan on the north wall opposite the Menora on the south wall are placed outside the Parochet in the main section of the Mishkan. A curtain similar to the Parochet was to be hung across the entrance of the Mishkan. The Parochet and Masach were woven from yarn which consisted of 6 threads each of the 3 colors of wool and white linen, i.e. 24 threads in the yarn that was used for this purpose.
Some commentaries say that each curtain hung from hooks on the supporting pillars.
Others say that a rod was inserted at the top of each curtain and the rod was suspended from the hooks on the pillars. This would allow the Parochet and Masach to hang evenly without sagging. It is a square with raised corners. All vessels and utensils for this Altar were to be made of copper, as are the rings for the carrying rods. This Altar was outside the Mishkan, in the courtyard of the Mikdash and was used for most of the sacrifices.
