Exodus 26:6

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.

⁵ Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops line up opposite one another.

Make fifty gold clasps as well, and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be a unit.

⁷ You are to make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all.

⁸ Each of the eleven curtains is to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.

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.
