Exodus 26:1-6

1“1Moreover, you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and 2violet, purple, and scarlet material; you shall make them with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer. 2The length of each curtain shall be 3twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains shall have 4the same measurements. 3Five curtains shall be 5joined to one another, and the other five curtains shall be 6joined to one another. 4You shall make loops of violet on the edge of the 7outermost curtain in the first set, and likewise you shall make them on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second 8set. 5You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops on the 9edge of the curtain that is in the second 10set; the loops shall be opposite each other. 6You shall also make fifty clasps of gold, and 11join the curtains to one another with the clasps so that the 12tabernacle will be a unit.
