"Fifty loops you shall make in the one curtain, and fifty loops you shall make on the edge of the curtain that is on the end of the second set, that the loops may be clasped to one another.
     "And you shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains together with the clasps, so that it may be one tabernacle.
     "You shall also make curtains of goats' hair, to be a tent over the tabernacle.  You shall make eleven curtains.
     "The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; and the eleven curtains shall all have the same measurements."  Exodus 26:5-8
    
A cubit is a measurement of one's elbow to the tip of the middle finger - basically the forearm and hand.  These verses are interesting to me.  Many, many people had to work together to achieve God's requests.   The people worked hard while being very generous -

"The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do." 
Exodus 36:5

Tell God you love Him.
    
Love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.  Read your Bible.
