CURTAIN

kur'-t'-n, -ten, -tin: The word ordinarily used for curtain is yeri`ah. Thus in Exodus 26:1; Exodus 36:8 of the curtains of the tabernacle (see TABERNACLE); in 2 Samuel 7:2 Psalm 104:2 Songs 1:5 Isaiah 54:2 Jeremiah 4:20; Jeremiah 10:20; Jeremiah 49:29 Habakkuk 3:7.

Figurative: In Isaiah 40:22 (like Psalm 104:2, of the heavens), the word used is doq, literally, "gauze."
