Five of the curtains are to be joined together

on Exodus 26:3-6

Fifty loops and fifty gold clasps join the two sets of five, and the sentence ends on the result, that it shall be one tabernacle. The word one carries the paragraph and returns at verse 11 for the outer tent. Ten separate pieces of cloth count as a single covering.

The record, by era

The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice

The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another,.... Five of the ten curtains were to be sewed together, and make as it were one curtain: and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another: the other five were to be joined together in like manner, and so made two large pieces of tapestry of fourteen yards long and ten broad, according to the common account of a cubit, but were much longer and broader.
