Each curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide; all the curtains were the same size. The exact dimensions of Exodus 26:2 — twenty-eight cubits long, four cubits wide — are reproduced exactly. The uniformity of the ten curtains is confirmed: all the same size. Hebrews 8:5 says the tabernacle is a copy of what is in heaven — the copy can only accurately represent the original if the dimensions are exactly reproduced. The craftsmen's precision is the precision of faithful representation. Every cubit matters because every detail of the heavenly pattern matters.
