This color was used in various elements of the tabernacle, including the priestly garments (<a href="/exodus/28-31.htm">Exodus 28:31</a>). The loops were functional, serving to connect the curtains, but they also carried symbolic meaning, representing the heavenly nature of the tabernacle as a dwelling place for God among His people.<p><b>on the edge of the end curtain in the first set</b><br>The tabernacle was constructed with ten curtains, divided into two sets of five. The "end curtain in the first set" refers to the outermost curtain of the first group. The precise instructions for the tabernacle's construction highlight the importance of order and obedience in worship. The tabernacle was a portable sanctuary, reflecting the Israelites' nomadic lifestyle during their wilderness journey. The detailed craftsmanship and specific instructions underscore the holiness and sacredness of the space.<p><b>and do the same for the end curtain in the second set</b><br>This repetition emphasizes the symmetry and unity required in the tabernacle's design. The two sets of curtains were to be joined together, symbolizing the unity of God's people and the completeness of His covenant. The tabernacle served as a precursor to the temple and ultimately pointed to Jesus Christ, who is the true tabernacle (<a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a>), dwelling among us and uniting believers in Him. The meticulous design reflects God's desire for His people to approach Him with reverence and precision, foreshadowing the perfect order found in Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who received the instructions for the Tabernacle from God on Mount Sinai.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_tabernacle.htm">The Tabernacle</a></b><br>A portable earthly dwelling place of God among the Israelites, where these curtains were to be used.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who were to construct the Tabernacle according to the divine instructions given to Moses.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/m/mount_sinai.htm">Mount Sinai</a></b><br>The place where Moses received the Ten Commandments and the detailed instructions for the Tabernacle.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_wilderness.htm">The Wilderness</a></b><br>The setting where the Israelites were journeying and where the Tabernacle was to be constructed and used.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/a/attention_to_detail_in_worship.htm">Attention to Detail in Worship</a></b><br>The specific instructions for the Tabernacle, including the loops of blue material, remind us of the importance of following God's instructions carefully in our worship practices.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_blue.htm">Symbolism of Blue</a></b><br>The use of blue material can symbolize heavenly realities, reminding believers to focus on the divine and eternal aspects of their faith.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/u/unity_and_connection.htm">Unity and Connection</a></b><br>The loops and curtains symbolize the unity and connection among the people of God, encouraging believers to maintain unity in the body of Christ.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_presence.htm">God's Presence</a></b><br>The construction of the Tabernacle signifies God's desire to dwell among His people, encouraging us to seek His presence in our daily lives.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/o/obedience_to_god's_commands.htm">Obedience to God's Commands</a></b><br>The detailed instructions for the Tabernacle construction highlight the importance of obedience to God's commands, even in seemingly small details.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_exodus_26.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Exodus 26</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_was_moses'_tabernacle.htm">What was Moses' Tabernacle?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/can_gershonites_handle_tent_weights.htm">Numbers 4:24-26 -
