Exodus 26:7

5 Make fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops line up opposite one another.

6 Make fifty gold clasps as well, and join the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle will be a unit.

You are to make curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all.

8 Each of the eleven curtains is to be the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.

9 Join five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another. Then fold the sixth curtain over double at the front of the tent.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
