Exodus 38:14
12 The west side was fifty cubits long and had curtains, with ten posts and ten bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.
13 And the east side, toward the sunrise, was also fifty cubits long.
The curtains on one side of the entrance were fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases.
15 And the curtains on the other side were also fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases as well.
16 All the curtains around the courtyard were made of finely spun linen.
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.
