There were three curtains in the Tabernacle, and a larger number in the Temple. I'll assume that you're asking about the curtain that was in front of the Holy of Holies.

In the Tabernacle, its width was ten amot (about five meters).

In the First Temple, its width was that of an ordinary door, since there was a wall with a curtain where a door would have been.

In the Second Temple, its width was twenty amot (about ten meters).

Where can you find in the bible how the priest got through the veil to enter the holy of holies?

In the King James version the word - veil - appears 7 times, but none of them give this information * Son 5:7 The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me. * Mat 27:51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; * Mar 15:38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. * Luk 23:45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. * Heb 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; * Heb 9:3 And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; * Heb 10:20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; the phrase - holy of holies - does not appear at all, nor indeed does the word - holies. Exodus 26 covers a lot of the description of the curtains involved - and Exodus 27 has more details on the temple, but not the information sought.
