He made
The phrase "He made" refers to the skilled craftsmanship of Bezalel and his team, who were divinely inspired artisans. The Hebrew root for "made" is עָשָׂה ('asah), which implies not just creation but also careful and intentional craftsmanship. This reflects the importance of diligence and precision in serving God, emphasizing that our work should be done with excellence as an act of worship.

fifty loops
The number "fifty" in the Bible often symbolizes completeness or fullness. The loops were part of the tabernacle's design, ensuring that the curtains could be joined together seamlessly. This meticulous attention to detail signifies the perfection and order inherent in God's creation and His plans. The loops, made of blue material, also remind us of the heavenly origin of the tabernacle's design, pointing to the divine nature of God's dwelling among His people.

on one curtain
The "curtain" here refers to the fabric panels that formed the tabernacle's covering. In Hebrew, the word for curtain is יְרִיעָה (yeriah), which can also mean a tent or a dwelling place. This highlights the tabernacle as a temporary yet sacred dwelling for God's presence among the Israelites, foreshadowing the coming of Christ, who "tabernacled" among us (John 1:14).

and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set
The repetition of "fifty loops" on the "end curtain of the second set" underscores the symmetry and unity required in the construction of the tabernacle. This reflects the unity and harmony that should exist within the body of Christ, the Church. Just as the curtains were joined to form one tabernacle, believers are called to be united in faith and purpose.

so that the loops lined up together
The phrase "lined up together" indicates precision and alignment, ensuring that the curtains fit perfectly. This meticulous alignment symbolizes the order and harmony that God desires in His creation and among His people. It serves as a reminder that our lives should be aligned with God's will, reflecting His order and purpose.
