“ Moreover, you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet yarns; you shall make them with cherubim skillfully worked into them.The length of each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains shall be the same size.Five curtains shall be coupled to one another, and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another.And you shall make loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set. Likewise you shall make loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set.Fifty loops you shall make on the one curtain, and fifty loops you shall make on the edge of the curtain that is in the second set; the loops shall be opposite one another.And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to the other with the clasps, so that the tabernacle may be a single whole.“ You shall also make curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains shall you make.The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. The eleven curtains shall be the same size.You shall couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and the sixth curtain you shall double over at the front of the tent.You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second set.“ You shall make fifty clasps of bronze, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together that it may be a single whole.And the part that remains of the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that remains, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.And the extra that remains in the length of the curtains, the cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on this side and that side, to cover it.And you shall make for the tent a covering of tanned rams’ skins and a covering of goatskins on top.“ You shall make upright frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood.Ten cubits shall be the length of a frame, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each frame.There shall be two tenons in each frame, for fitting together. So shall you do for all the frames of the tabernacle.You shall make the frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side;and forty bases of silver you shall make under the twenty frames, two bases under one frame for its two tenons, and two bases under the next frame for its two tenons;and for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side twenty frames,and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one frame, and two bases under the next frame.And for the rear of the tabernacle westward you shall make six frames.And you shall make two frames for corners of the tabernacle in the rear;they shall be separate beneath, but joined at the top, at the first ring. Thus shall it be with both of them; they shall form the two corners.And there shall be eight frames, with their bases of silver, sixteen bases; two bases under one frame, and two bases under another frame.“ You shall make bars of acacia wood, five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle,and five bars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames of the side of the tabernacle at the rear westward.The middle bar, halfway up the frames, shall run from end to end.You shall overlay the frames with gold and shall make their rings of gold for holders for the bars, and you shall overlay the bars with gold.Then you shall erect the tabernacle according to the plan for it that you were shown on the mountain.“ And you shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. It shall be made with cherubim skillfully worked into it.And you shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, with hooks of gold, on four bases of silver.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.And you shall set the table outside the veil, and the lampstand on the south side of the tabernacle opposite the table, and you shall put the table on the north side.“ You shall make a screen for the entrance of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework.And you shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold, and you shall cast five bases of bronze for them.

Ezekiel 10:1-19
Then I looked, and behold, on the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim there appeared above them something like a sapphire, in appearance like a throne.And he said to the man clothed in linen,“ Go in among the whirling wheels underneath the cherubim. Fill your hands with burning coals from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city.” And he went in before my eyes.Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the house, when the man went in, and a cloud filled the inner court.And the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub to the threshold of the house, and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord.And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.And when he commanded the man clothed in linen,“ Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim,” he went in and stood beside a wheel.And a 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 the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out.The cherubim appeared to have the form of a human hand under their wings.And I looked, and behold, there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub, and the appearance of the wheels was like sparkling beryl.And as for their appearance, the four had the same likeness, as if a wheel were within a wheel.When they went, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went, but in whatever direction the front wheel faced, the others followed without turning as they went.And their whole body, their rims, and their spokes, their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes all around— the wheels that the four of them had.As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing“ the whirling wheels.”And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was a human face, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.And the cherubim mounted up. These were the living creatures that I saw by the Chebar canal.And 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 did not turn from beside them.When they stood still, these stood still, and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in them.Then the glory of the Lord went out from the threshold of the house, and stood over the cherubim.And the cherubim lifted up their wings and mounted up from the earth before my eyes as they went out, with the wheels beside them. And they stood at the entrance of the east gate of the house of the Lord, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them.

Ezekiel 1:5-28
And from the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had a human likeness,but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings.Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the sole of a calf’s foot. And they sparkled like burnished bronze.Under their wings on their four sides they had human hands. And the four had their faces and their wings thus:their wings touched one another. Each one of them went straight forward, without turning as they went.As for the likeness of their faces, each had a human face. The four had the face of a lion on the right side, the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four had the face of an eagle.Such were their faces. And their wings were spread out above. Each creature had two wings, each of which touched the wing of another, while two covered their bodies.And each went straight forward. Wherever the spirit would go, they went, without turning as they went.As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches moving to and fro among the living creatures. And the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.And the living creatures darted to and fro, like the appearance of a flash of lightning.Now as I looked at the living creatures, I saw a wheel on the earth beside the living creatures, one for each of the four of them.As for the appearance of the wheels and their construction: their appearance was like the gleaming of beryl. And the four had the same likeness, their appearance and construction being as it were a wheel within a wheel.When they went, they went in any of their four directions without turning as they went.And their rims were tall and awesome, and the rims of all four were full of eyes all around.And when the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures rose from the earth, the wheels rose.Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, and the wheels rose along with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood; and when those rose from the earth, the wheels rose along with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.Over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of an expanse, shining like awe-inspiring crystal, spread out above their heads.And under the expanse their wings were stretched out straight, one toward another. And each creature had two wings covering its body.And when they went, I heard the sound of their wings like the sound of many waters, like the sound of the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the sound of an army. When they stood still, they let down their wings.And there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads. When they stood still, they let down their wings.And above the expanse over their heads there was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like sapphire; and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness with a human appearance.And upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around. And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.
