Exodus 36:8

6 After Moses had given an order, they sent a proclamation throughout the camp: “No man or woman should make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing more,

7 since what they already had was more than enough to perform all the work.

All the skilled craftsmen among the workmen made the ten curtains for the tabernacle. They were made of finely spun linen, as well as blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with cherubim skillfully worked into them.

9 Each curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide; all the curtains were the same size.

10 And he joined five of the curtains together, and the other five he joined as well.
