and the veil. It was also embroidered with cherubim

and righteousness. The covering was placed directly over the Framework
and formed the actual Tabernacle. It was made from 10 individual curtains to
begin with, each 28 cubits (44 feet) x 4 cubits (6 feet). Five curtains were
joined together and so were the other five. These two sets of five curtains were
