[Bezalel] coupled five curtains one to another and the other five curtains he coupled one to another. read more.
And he made loops of blue on the outer edge of the last curtain in the first set; this he did also on the inner edge of the first curtain in the second set. Fifty loops he made in the one curtain and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which was the second set; the loops were opposite one another. And he made fifty clasps of gold and coupled the curtains together with the clasps so that the tabernacle became one unit. And he made eleven curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle. The length of one curtain was thirty cubits and four cubits was the breadth; the eleven curtains were of equal size.
