26:2-6 42 feet long and 6 feet wide: A width of 6 feet may have been dictated by the size of the largest loom available. Five of the six-foot strips were joined, probably by being sewn together, making one continuous piece of cloth 42 feet long and 30 feet wide. When joined to each other with the loops and clasps (26:5-6), the two cloths formed a single unit 42 feet by 60 feet.
