Exodus 38:16
14 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.
All the curtains around the courtyard were made of finely spun linen.
17 The bases for the posts were bronze, the hooks and bands were silver, and the plating for the tops of the posts was silver. So all the posts of the courtyard were banded with silver.
18 The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. It was twenty cubits long and, like the curtains of the courtyard, five cubits high,
