Exodus 38:17
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.
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,
19 with four posts and four bronze bases. Their hooks were silver, as well as the bands and the plating of their tops.
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.
