Context of Exodus 38:16

14There were 7 metres of curtain on each side of the entrance. Three poles with their bases held the curtains on each side. The workers used good linen to make all the curtains around the yard. 17All the poles had bronze bases to hold them. But the workers used silver to make the hooks that were on the poles, and the sticks. They covered the tops of the poles with silver too. All the poles around the yard had silver sticks to join them together. 18They used blue, purple and red material, as well as good linen, to make the curtain for the entrance of the yard. A worker used special skills so that it looked beautiful. It was 9 metres wide and 2.2 metres high. All the curtains around the yard were 2.2 metres high.
