The five curtains shall be coupled together
on Exodus 26:3-6
Fifty loops and fifty gold taches join the two sets of five, and the sentence ends by insisting on the result, that it shall be one tabernacle. The word one carries the paragraph and it is repeated at verse 11 for the outer tent. Ten separate pieces of cloth are made to count as a single covering.
