Blue, often associated with the heavens, symbolizes divinity and the presence of God. In the ancient Near East, blue dye was rare and expensive, often derived from shellfish, indicating the preciousness of the tabernacle's construction. The loops served a practical purpose, allowing the curtains to be joined, but they also remind us of the heavenly nature of God's dwelling 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 edge of the end curtain in the first set signifies the boundary where the two sets would be joined. This detail emphasizes the precision and orderliness required in the construction of the tabernacle, reflecting God's nature of order and perfection. The curtains themselves were made of fine linen, symbolizing purity and righteousness.<p><b>and also on the end curtain in the second set</b><br>The repetition of the loops on the end curtain in the second set highlights the symmetry and unity of the tabernacle's design. This unity is a reflection of the unity and harmony that God desires among His people. The joining of the two sets of curtains can be seen as a type of Christ, who unites believers into one body.
