Context of Exodus 26:3
1“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. 2Each 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. 4Make 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. 5Make 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.
