EXODUS 36:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.”
Then they made fifty gold clasps and used them to fasten the two sets of curtains together so that the tabernacle was a unit. Fifty gold clasps joining fifty loops to fifty loops — the tabernacle becomes a unit, echad. The unity achieved through the gold clasps is the unity of the covenant community gathered under one God. John 17:11 says Jesus prays that his disciples may be one as we are one — the unity of the tabernacle achieved through the gold clasps is the spatial type of the spiritual unity Christ prays for.
