Context of Exodus 26:11
9Join five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, and join the other six into a second long curtain. Allow 3 feet of material from the second set of curtains to hang over the front of the sacred tent. 10Make fifty loops for one edge of each large curtain. Then make fifty bronze clasps, and fasten the loops of the long curtains with the clasps. In this way, the tent covering will be made of one continuous piece. 12The remaining 3 feet of this tent covering will be left to hang over the back of the Tabernacle. 13Allow 18 inches of remaining material to hang down over each side, so the Tabernacle is completely covered.
