Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits,.... The breadth of them is the same with the linen curtains, but the length of them two cubits more; the reason of which was, that they might hang down lower on either side, and the better preserve them from any injury:
and the eleven curtains shall be all of one measure; as to length and breadth.
