curtain.
Ex. 26:7‑8• 7And thou shalt make curtains of goats' hair to be a covering upon the tabernacle: eleven curtains shalt thou make.
 8The length of one curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: and the eleven curtains shall be all of one measure. (Ex. 26:7‑8)
;
Num. 4:25• 25And they shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tabernacle of the congregation, his covering, and the covering of the badgers' skins that is above upon it, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, (Num. 4:25)
;
2 Sam. 7:2• 2That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains. (2 Sam. 7:2)
;
1 Chron. 17:1• 1Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord remaineth under curtains. (1 Chron. 17:1)
• Now 28 =7 x 4; and consequently the length is seven times four; and the breadth, being also four cubits, divides the length into seven; that is, 28 divided by 4 gives 7. Seven and four are thus characteristic. Seven is the perfect number...and four is that of completeness on earth—as seen, for example, in the four corners of the earth, four winds, four-square, four gospels. The dimensions of the curtains will then betoken perfection displayed in completeness on earth; and such a meaning could only be applied to the life of our blessed Lord. (“The Curtains of the Tabernacle: Exodus 26:1-14” by E. Dennett)
