On Acts 1:16 –
“The apostle Peter was apprehensive about continuing with the number eleven [of the apostles], ‘for every sin is eleven, because when one does wicked things he goes beyond the command of the decalog.’ Hence, because the righteousness of our is innocent of itself, the tabernacle which contained the Lord’s ark was covered from above by eleven veils of goats’ hair.” – the Venerable Bede, Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture, New Testament V: Acts, 16.
