Exodus 27:14

12 The curtains on the west side of the courtyard shall be fifty cubits wide, with ten posts and ten bases.

13 The east side of the courtyard, toward the sunrise, is to be fifty cubits wide.

Make the curtains on one side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases,

15 and the curtains on the other side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases.

16 The gate of the courtyard shall be twenty cubits long, with a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. It shall have four posts and four 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.
