Behind the second curtain

The first curtain was the outer wall of the tabernacle, so the "second curtain" was the curtain between the "holy place" and the "most holy place."

second

This is the ordinal word for the number two. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-ordinal)

another tabernacle

"another dwelling place" or "another tent." This is perhaps a metaphor for the place in which the priests set the items described in the next verse. Some modern translations read the ellipsis as "another room in the tabernacle" or "another section of the tabernacle." (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-ellipsis and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)
