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).

LUKE
The veil of the temple was replaced following the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, which is described in the New Testament. At the moment of His death, the veil, which separated the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple, was torn in two, symbolizing the removal of the barrier between God and humanity. This event signifies the establishment of a new covenant through Christ, allowing direct access to God for all believers, rather than through the temple rituals and priesthood of the Old Testament.
In the King James versionthe word - veil - appears 7 timesSon 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;
A:The Jewish historian, Josephus, who had been a priest at the Temple and would have been familiar with the Temple veil before the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, describes the curtain and its images and colours in considerable detail (Wars of the Jews, Book 5), but makes no mention of any damage to it, or any repairs.
The thickness of the veil in the temple, specifically in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, is traditionally believed to have been about four inches (approximately 10 centimeters). This heavy curtain separated the Holy Place from the Most Holy Place and was made of fine linen, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn. Its significance lies in its role in symbolizing the separation between God and humanity, which was overcome in Christian theology with the tearing of the veil at the crucifixion of Jesus.
The temple veil in ancient Jewish temples was made of fine linen and was blue, purple, and scarlet in color. It was intricately woven with images of cherubim and served as a barrier to separate the Holy of Holies from the rest of the temple. The veil was meant to symbolize the separation between God and humanity, and only the high priest could enter the Holy of Holies where the Ark of the Covenant was placed.
The meaning of the veil in Matthew 27, 50-53 . Means in the temple there was a veil or curtain deviding the priests room and men, the veil was 12 feet by 12 feet made of strong cloth not easily torn, after it was torn the devision between god and man is now clear.
A:The gospels say that at the very moment Jesus died, the veil, or curtain, at the entrance to the Holy of Holies was rent from top to bottom ("And the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom." - Mark 15:38). Josephus, who would have been familiar with the Temple veil before the destruction of the Temple in 70 CE, describes the curtain and its images and colours in considerable detail (Wars of the Jews, Book 5), saying that it was made of flax. Based on his description, the curtain was not particularly thick. Interestingly, Josephus makes no mention of any damage to it, or any repairs.
The Temple Veil was torn in two, from top to bottom, denoting that God had accepted Jesus death on the cross as an acceptable sacrifice for the remission of sin (hence, the Passover Lamb). Jesus, acting as our spiritual High Priest, made an acceptable attonement on Passover. Therefore, there was no longer a need to have a veil separating God from man.
