Bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, was commonly used in ancient times for tools and weapons, symbolizing judgment and endurance. The number fifty often represents completeness or fullness in biblical numerology, suggesting the thoroughness of God's design for the tabernacle. The clasps were essential for holding the structure together, indicating the importance of unity and cohesion in the community of believers.<p><b>and put them through the loops</b><br>The loops were part of the curtains that covered the tabernacle, ensuring that the structure was securely fastened. This detail highlights the precision and care in God's instructions for the tabernacle's construction. The loops and clasps working together symbolize the interconnectedness of the various parts of the body of Christ, as seen in <a href="/1_corinthians/12-12.htm">1 Corinthians 12:12-27</a>, where each member is vital to the whole.<p><b>to join the tent together</b><br>The joining of the tent signifies the unity and oneness of God's dwelling place among His people. The tabernacle served as a central point of worship and a tangible representation of God's presence. This unity is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are described as being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit (<a href="/ephesians/2-22.htm">Ephesians 2:22</a>).<p><b>as a unit</b><br>The concept of the tabernacle as a unit underscores the idea of harmony and completeness in God's design. It reflects the unity of the Trinity and the call for unity among believers. The tabernacle, as a single unit, prefigures the church as the body of Christ, unified in purpose and mission. This unity is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, emphasizing the importance of collective worship and community in the life of faith.<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 for God among the Israelites, designed according to divine specifications.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/b/bronze_clasps.htm">Bronze Clasps</a></b><br>These were used to join the curtains of the Tabernacle, symbolizing unity and strength.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who were to construct the Tabernacle as a place of worship and divine presence.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/m/mount_sinai.htm">Mount Sinai</a></b><br>The place where God delivered the instructions for the Tabernacle to Moses.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/u/unity_in_the_body_of_christ.htm">Unity in the Body of Christ</a></b><br>Just as the bronze clasps joined the curtains of the Tabernacle, believers are called to be united in Christ, forming one body.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/strength_in_diversity.htm">Strength in Diversity</a></b><br>The use of bronze, a strong metal, signifies the strength that comes from diverse members working together in unity.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/a/attention_to_detail_in_worship.htm">Attention to Detail in Worship</a></b><br>God's specific instructions for the Tabernacle remind us of the importance of reverence and precision in our worship practices.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_materials.htm">Symbolism of Materials</a></b><br>The choice of bronze, a durable and resilient material, can remind us of the enduring nature of God's covenant with His people.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_presence_among_his_people.htm">God's Presence Among His People</a></b><br>The Tabernacle was a physical representation of God's desire to dwell among His people, a truth that continues through the Holy Spirit in believers today.<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/why_is_the_burnt_altar_important.htm">Why is the altar of burnt offering significant?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_did_judaism_develop_gradually.htm">Why does archaeology show that Judaism developed gradually rather than being revealed all at once?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/how_do_bread_and_wine's_miracles_fit_science.htm">In Matthew 26:26-29, how can the supernatural implications of the bread and wine be reconciled with scientific understanding of physical substances?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_was_joshua_17_14-15_allotment_small.htm">Joshua 17:14-15: If the tribe's population was huge, why was their allotment so limited, and is this numerically believable?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/exodus/26.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 11.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">Fifty taches of brass</span>.
