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.
