Exodus 26:1-37
“ You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains. You must make them of finely spun linen, and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with a design of cherubim worked into them.Each curtain should be forty-two feet long and six feet wide; all the curtains are to have the same measurements.Five of the curtains should be joined together, and the other five curtains joined together.Make loops of blue yarn on the edge of the last curtain in the first set, and do the same on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set.Make fifty loops on the one curtain and make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set, so that the loops line up together.Also make fifty gold clasps and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle may be a single unit.“ You are to make curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; make eleven of these curtains.Each curtain should be forty-five feet long and six feet wide. All eleven curtains are to have the same measurements.Join five of the curtains by themselves, and the other six curtains by themselves. Then fold the sixth curtain double at the front of the tent.Make fifty loops on the edge of one curtain, the outermost in the first set, and make fifty loops on the edge of the corresponding curtain of the second set.Make fifty bronze clasps; put the clasps through the loops and join the tent together so that it is a single unit.As for the flap that remains from the tent curtains, the leftover half curtain is to hang over the back of the tabernacle.What remains along the length of the tent curtains— a half yard on one side and a half yard on the other side— should hang over the sides of the tabernacle on either side to cover it.Make a covering for the tent from ram skins dyed red and a covering of fine leather on top of that.“ You are to make upright supports of acacia wood for the tabernacle.Each support is to be fifteen feet long and twenty-seven inches wide.Each support will have two tenons for joining. Do the same for all the supports of the tabernacle.Make the supports for the tabernacle as follows: twenty supports for the south side,and make forty silver bases under the twenty supports, two bases under the first support for its two tenons, and two bases under the next support for its two tenons;twenty supports for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side,along with their forty silver bases, two bases under the first support and two bases under each support;and make six supports for the west side of the tabernacle.Make two additional supports for the two back corners of the tabernacle.They are to be paired at the bottom, and joined together at the top in a single ring. So it should be for both of them; they will serve as the two corners.There are to be eight supports with their silver bases: sixteen bases; two bases under the first support and two bases under each support.“ You are to make five crossbars of acacia wood for the supports on one side of the tabernacle,five crossbars for the supports on the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for the supports on the back side of the tabernacle on the west.The central crossbar is to run through the middle of the supports from one end to the other.Then overlay the supports with gold, and make their rings of gold as the holders for the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.You are to set up the tabernacle according to the plan for it that you have been shown on the mountain.“ You are to make a curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen with a design of cherubim worked into it.Hang it on four gold-plated pillars of acacia wood that have gold hooks and that stand on four silver bases.Hang the curtain under the clasps and bring the ark of the testimony there behind the curtain, so the curtain will make a separation for you between the holy place and the most holy place.Put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the most holy place.Place the table outside the curtain and the lampstand on the south side of the tabernacle, opposite the table; put the table on the north side.“ For the entrance to the tent you are to make a screen embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen.Make five pillars of acacia wood for the screen and overlay them with gold; their hooks are to be gold, and you are to cast five bronze bases for them.

Ezekiel 10:1-19
Then I looked, and there above the expanse over the heads of the cherubim was something like a throne with the appearance of lapis lazuli.The LORD spoke to the man clothed in linen and said,“ Go inside the wheelwork beneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with blazing coals from among the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” So he went in as I watched.Now the cherubim were standing to the south of the temple when the man went in, and the cloud filled the inner court.Then the glory of the LORD rose from above the cherub to the threshold of the temple. The temple was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the LORD’s glory.The sound of the cherubim’s wings could be heard as far as the outer court; it was like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.After the LORD commanded the man clothed in linen, saying,“ Take fire from inside the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” the man went in and stood beside a wheel.Then the cherub reached out his hand to the fire that was among them. He took some and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out.The cherubim appeared to have the form of human hands under their wings.I looked, and there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside each cherub. The luster of the wheels was like the gleam of beryl.In appearance, all four looked alike, like a wheel within a wheel.When they moved, they would go in any of the four directions, without pivoting as they moved. But wherever the head faced, they would go in that direction, without pivoting as they went.Their entire bodies, including their backs, hands, wings, and the wheels that the four of them had, were full of eyes all around.As I listened the wheels were called“ the wheelwork.”Each one had four faces: one was the face of a cherub, the second the face of a human, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.The cherubim ascended; these were the living creatures I had seen by the Chebar Canal.When the cherubim moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when they lifted their wings to rise from the earth, even then the wheels did not veer away from them.When the cherubim stopped, the wheels stood still, and when they ascended, the wheels ascended with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in them.Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the temple and stopped above the cherubim.The cherubim lifted their wings and ascended from the earth right before my eyes; the wheels were beside them as they went. The glory of the God of Israel was above them, and it stopped at the entrance to the eastern gate of the LORD’s house.

Ezekiel 1:5-28
The likeness of four living creatures came from it, and this was their appearance: They looked something like a human,but each of them had four faces and four wings.Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the hooves of a calf, sparkling like the gleam of polished bronze.They had human hands under their wings on their four sides. All four of them had faces and wings.Their wings were touching. The creatures did not turn as they moved; each one went straight ahead.Their faces looked something like the face of a human, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right, the face of an ox on the left, and the face of an eagle.That is what their faces were like. Their wings were spread upward; each had two wings touching that of another and two wings covering its body.Each creature went straight ahead. Wherever the Spirit wanted to go, they went without turning as they moved.The likeness of the living creatures was like the appearance of blazing coals of fire or like torches. Fire was moving back and forth between the living creatures; it was bright, with lightning coming out of it.The creatures were darting back and forth like flashes of lightning.When I looked at the living creatures, there was one wheel on the ground beside each of the four-faced creatures.The appearance of the wheels and their craftsmanship was like the gleam of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. Their appearance and craftsmanship was like a wheel within a wheel.When they moved, they went in any of the four directions, without turning as they moved.Their four rims were tall and awe-inspiring, completely covered with eyes.When the living creatures moved, the wheels moved beside them, and when the creatures rose from the earth, the wheels also rose.Wherever the Spirit wanted to go, the creatures went in the direction the Spirit was moving. The wheels rose alongside them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.When the creatures moved, the wheels moved; when the creatures stopped, the wheels stopped; and when the creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose alongside them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.Over the heads of the living creatures the likeness of an expanse was spread out. It gleamed like awe-inspiring crystal,and under the expanse their wings extended one toward another. They each also had two wings covering their bodies.When they moved, I heard the sound of their wings like the roar of a huge torrent, like the voice of the Almighty, and a sound of tumult like the noise of an army. When they stopped, they lowered their wings.A voice came from above the expanse over their heads; when they stopped, they lowered their wings.Something like a throne with the appearance of lapis lazuli was above the expanse over their heads. On the throne, high above, was someone who looked like a human.From what seemed to be his waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire enclosing it all around. From what seemed to be his waist down, I also saw what looked like fire. There was a brilliant light all around him.The appearance of the brilliant light all around was like that of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the likeness of the LORD’s glory. When I saw it, I fell facedown and heard a voice speaking.
