And thou shalt couple five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves, and shalt double the sixth curtain in the forefront of the tabernacle. (Exodus 26:9 KJV)

The ten multi-colored tapestries, in two groups of five each, represent the Ten Commandments (engraved on two tablets). The eleven sheets of goat hair, sewn together in groups of five and six, represent the Five Books of Moses and the Six orders of the Mishnah... The "folded sheet" represents the Talmud, which enfolds and defines the Torah... The fifty clasps represent the fifty days from the Exodus to the Giving of the Torah.
(Midrash HaGadol)
