Rashi on Eruvin
"They learn from the doorway of the courtyard gate" - He objects regarding the width, as we learned in the Mishnah, "and the width [must be] less than ten cubits." Now, we find the doorway of the courtyard, which was twenty [cubits] wide, and it is called "doorway," as it is written, "and the curtains of the courtyard, and the screen for the doorway of the courtyard gate," written in the section of Naso. But regarding the height, to disqualify [a doorway] with a height greater than five cubits, he cannot object, for we find the doorway of the Temple, which was twenty [cubits] high, and it calls it "doorway."

The width of the courtyard of the Tabernacle was 50 cubits. Now, as for what is written "fifty by fifty" in the second chapter (Exodus 27:18), it explains it: and its entrance was in the middle of its width, and they closed it with curtains, 15 cubits on this side of the entrance and 15 cubits on that side of the entrance, leaving 20 cubits of width in the middle, as it is written, "fifteen cubits of curtains for the shoulder," and "shoulder" is the side of the entrance.

"Just as below" - [meaning] a height of five [cubits], for all the curtains of the courtyard surrounding [the Tabernacle] were no taller than five [cubits], as it is written (Exodus 27:18), "and its height was five cubits."
