Rashi: "ha'Mishkan" is the bottom set of curtains;

"ha'Ohel is the curtains made of goat's-skin
2
, "Michseihu", the curtains of ram-skins dyed red and of the Tachash

and ?Masach Pesach Ohel Mo?ed?, the screen (veil) in front of the Ohel Mo?ed.
Bearing in mind the implications of Pasuk in Terumah Sh'mos, 26:14 - that the curtains of red ram-skins and of the Tachash were two individual curtains why does the Torah write "Michseihu" - in the singular?

Sifsei Chachamim: Because they were initially manufactured as two independent curtains, but they were then sewn together.
