Even the Roof and the Walls were Special

The roof of the Mishkan had three layers, made of all kinds of colorful animal skins.

The walls were made of beams of sheetim wood, each one 10 amot long. (An amah is a measure that equals about two feet.) The beams fit into silver sockets at the bottom - just like a giant set of Legos! As a final, decorator touch, beautiful curtains hung at the entrance to the Mishkan and around the courtyard inside.
