Context of Exodus 36:11

9The length of one curtain was forty-two feet, and the width of one curtain was six feet – the same size for each of the curtains. 10He joined five of the curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he joined to one another. He made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in the first set; he did the same along the edge of the end curtain in the second set. 12He made fifty loops on the first curtain, and he made fifty loops on the end curtain that was in the second set, with the loops opposite one another. 13He made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains together to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was a unit.
