Context of Exodus 26:3
1Make the tabernacle with ten curtains of very good linen. Also use blue, purple and red material. Tell a worker to use special skills to make pictures of cherubs on the curtains. 2All the curtains must be the same size: 12 metres long and 2 metres wide. Join five of the curtains together. Do the same thing with the other five curtains. 4Fix rings of blue material along the edge of the last curtain in each set of five curtains. 5Put 50 rings on the edge of the first set. Put 50 rings on the edge of the other set. Do this so that the rings on one curtain are opposite to the rings on the other curtain.
