length of one curtain.
Ex. 26:2,13• 2The length of one curtain shall be twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits—one measure for all the curtains.
 13And the cubit on the one side, and the cubit on the other side of that which remaineth in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on this side and on that side, to cover it. (Ex. 26:2,13)
• The dimensions of these differ from the curtains of the tabernacle of the same width, they were two cubits longer thirty cubits instead of twenty-eight—and there was one more curtain. While unable to suggest any typical value to the numbers, the reason of their larger size is yet evident. They were to extend beyond, on all sides, so as completely to protect the tabernacle curtains. (“The Curtains of the Tabernacle: Exodus 26:1-14” by E. Dennett)
