Exodus 26:33-34 ESV
And you shall hang the veil from the clasps, and bring the ark of the testimony in there within the veil. And the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy. You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the Most Holy Place.
The Israelites could worship in the Holy Place. That is as close as the Old Testament covenant could bring them to God. A veil separated them from the Most Holy Place.
When Jesus died on the cross the veil was torn. All believers now have access to the Most Holy Place, for God now abides in our hearts. We have become the new temple of the New Jerusalem.
