Exodus 26:8

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

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

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.

10 Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.

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.
