“And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in the uttermost edge of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.”
Make loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and do the same with the end curtain in the other set. The connecting loops of blue — the covenant color — run along the joining edges of the two five-curtain panels. The loops are the connection points that will accept the clasps. The blue color of the loops continues the color vocabulary of the inner curtains into the joining mechanism: even the connection points participate in the covenant colors. The detail that the loops are blue rather than some other color reflects the consistency of vision in the tabernacle's design — every element, including the connecting mechanisms, is part of the unified aesthetic.
