Exodus 26:3 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 26:3

The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another,
&c.] Five of the ten curtains were to be sewed together, and make as it were one curtain:

and other five curtains shall be coupled one to another:
the other five were to be joined together in like manner, and so made two large pieces of tapestry of fourteen yards long and ten broad, according to the common account of a cubit, but were much longer and broader.

4 And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the border in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of another curtain in the coupling of the second.

5 Fifty loops shalt thou make in the one curtain, and fifty loops shalt thou make in the border of the curtain that is in the second coupling; that the loops may take hold one of another.
