Exodus 26:2

1 “You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains of finely spun linen, each with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and cherubim skillfully worked into them.

Each curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide —all curtains the same size.

3 Five of the curtains are to be joined together, and the other five joined as well.

4 Make loops of blue material on the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and do the same for the end curtain in the second set.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
