Exodus 26:30

28 The central crossbar in the middle of the frames shall extend from one end to the other.

29 Overlay the frames with gold and make gold rings to hold the crossbars. Also overlay the crossbars with gold.

So you are to set up the tabernacle according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.

31 Make a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen, with cherubim skillfully worked into it.

32 Hang it with gold hooks on four posts of acacia wood, overlaid with gold and standing on four silver bases.

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.
