"Tu feras ensuite un voile en étoffe d’azur, de pourpre, d’écarlate et de lin retors; on le fabriquera artistement, en le damassant de chérubins.
Tosefta Shekalim (Lieberman)
The curtain is 40 cubits long and 20 cubits wide, It was weaves “of blue and crimson and byssus, fine linen, goats’ hair - work of art weaving”. A second [curtain] there was, 20 cubits long and 10 cubits wide. It was woven “of blue and crimson and byssus, fine linen, goats’ hair - work of art weaving” and was spread out over the entrance to the sanctuary from outside R. Judah says: The one that was taken out from within was folded double and fourfold, and spread it [then] from without over the entrance to the sanctuary. It was said to him: Can something that has served the purpose of what is strictly holy serve for what is less holy?
