You shall make them with the work of a skillful workman.The length of each curtain shall be twenty- eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains shall have one measure.Five curtains shall be coupled together to one another, and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another.You shall make loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling, and you shall do likewise on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second coupling.You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that is in the second coupling. The loops shall be opposite one another.You shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains to one another with the clasps. The tabernacle shall be a unit.“ You shall make curtains of goats’ hair for a covering over the tabernacle. You shall make eleven curtains.The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits: the eleven curtains shall have one measure.You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shall double over the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tent.You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the one curtain that is outermost in the coupling, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is outermost in the second coupling.You shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.The overhanging part that remains of the curtains of the tent— the half curtain that remains— shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.The cubit on the one side and the cubit on the other side, of that which remains in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it.You shall make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.“ You shall make the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright.Ten cubits shall be the length of a board, and one and a half cubits the width of each board.There shall be two tenons in each board, joined to one another: thus you shall make for all the boards of the tabernacle.You shall make twenty boards for the tabernacle, for the south side southward.You shall make forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, twenty boards,and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.For the far side of the tabernacle westward you shall make six boards.You shall make two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far side.They shall be double beneath, and in the same way they shall be whole to its top to one ring: thus shall it be for them both; they shall be for the two corners.There shall be eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.“ You shall make bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the side of the tabernacle, for the far side westward.The middle bar in the middle of the boards shall pass through from end to end.You shall overlay the boards with gold, and make their rings of gold for places for the bars.

Their hooks shall be of gold. You shall cast five sockets of bronze for them.

Ezekiel 10:1-19
Then I looked, and see, in the expanse that was over the head of the cherubim there appeared above them as it were a sapphire stone, as the appearance of the likeness of a throne.He spoke to the man clothed in linen, and said,“ Go in between the whirling wheels, even under the cherub, and fill both your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” He went in as I watched.Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.Yahweh’s glory mounted up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of Yahweh’s glory.The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.It came to pass, when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying,“ Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.The cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire that was between the cherubim, and took some of it, and put it into the hands of him who was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.The form of a man’s hand appeared here in the cherubim under their wings.I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one wheel beside one cherub, and another wheel beside another cherub. The appearance of the wheels was like a beryl stone.As for their appearance, the four of them had one likeness, like a wheel within a wheel.When they went, they went in their four directions. They didn’t turn as they went, but to the place where the head looked they followed it. They didn’t turn as they went.Their whole body, including their backs, their hands, their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes all around, even the wheels that the four of them had.As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing,“ the whirling wheels”.Every one them had four faces. The first face was the face of the cherub. The second face was the face of a man. The third face was the face of a lion. The fourth was the face of an eagle.The cherubim mounted up. This is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.When the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the wheels also didn’t turn from beside them.When they stood, these stood. When they mounted up, these mounted up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.Yahweh’s glory went out from over the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.The cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went out, with the wheels beside them. Then they stood at the door of the east gate of Yahweh’s house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

Ezekiel 1:5-28
Out of its center came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: They had the likeness of a man.Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings.Their feet were straight feet. The sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot; and they sparkled like burnished bronze.They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides. The four of them had their faces and their wings like this:Their wings were joined to one another. They didn’t turn when they went. Each one went straight forward.As for the likeness of their faces, they had the face of a man. The four of them had the face of a lion on the right side. The four of them had the face of an ox on the left side. The four of them also had the face of an eagle.Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out above. Two wings of each one touched another, and two covered their bodies.Each one went straight forward: where the spirit was to go, they went. They didn’t turn when they went.As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches. The fire went up and down among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and lightning went out of the fire.The living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.Now as I saw the living creatures, behold, there was one wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, for each of the four faces of it.The appearance of the wheels and their work was like a beryl. The four of them had one likeness. Their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.When they went, they went in their four directions. They didn’t turn when they went.As for their rims, they were high and dreadful; and the four of them had their rims full of eyes all around.When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them. When the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.Wherever the spirit was to go, they went. The spirit was to go there. The wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.When those went, these went. When those stood, these stood. When those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.Over the head of the living creature there was the likeness of an expanse, like an awesome crystal to look at, stretched out over their heads above.Under the expanse, their wings were straight, one toward the other. Each one had two which covered on this side, and each one had two which covered their bodies on that side.When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of an army. When they stood, they let down their wings.There was a voice above the expanse that was over their heads. When they stood, they let down their wings.Above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone. On the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man on it above.I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his waist and upward; and from the appearance of his waist and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.As the appearance of the rainbow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of Yahweh’s glory. When I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of one that spoke.
