And you are to make fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain of one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the other set
And you are to make
This phrase indicates a direct command from God to Moses, emphasizing the divine authority and precision required in the construction of the Tabernacle. The Hebrew root for "make" is "עָשָׂה" (asah), which implies not just creation but careful and purposeful crafting. This reflects the importance of obedience and attention to detail in following God's instructions, a theme that resonates throughout the Bible.

fifty loops
The number fifty in the Bible often symbolizes completeness or fullness, as seen in the Jubilee year (Leviticus 25:10). The loops, made from blue material, signify a connection or joining, which in this context, represents the unity and completeness of the Tabernacle as a dwelling place for God. The loops are a reminder of the intricate design and the interconnectedness of God's people, each part essential to the whole.

on the edge of the end curtain of one set
The "edge" signifies a boundary or limit, marking the transition from one section to another. In the Hebrew, "קָצֶה" (qatseh) is used, which can also mean extremity or outermost part. This highlights the importance of boundaries in the sacred space, ensuring that each part of the Tabernacle is distinct yet connected. The "end curtain" serves as a metaphor for the end of one phase and the beginning of another, symbolizing the transition from the earthly to the divine.

and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the other set
Repetition of the fifty loops on the other set of curtains underscores the symmetry and balance in God's design. The "other set" indicates that the Tabernacle is a unified structure, with each part mirroring the other, reflecting the harmony and order of God's creation. This balance is a reminder of the consistency and faithfulness of God, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8).

Verse 10. - Fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that coupleth the second. Rather, "fifty loops at the edge of the second curtain of coupling." The two portions of the goats' hair covering were to be united in exactly the same way as those of the inner awning of linen. Fifty loops were to be sewn on to the edge of the extreme, or outermost, breadth of each portion, and these loops were to be connected by clasps or links. The outermost breadth on which the loops are sewn, is called the curtain of coupling."
