Study note
Setting — Moses directs the skilled artisans during the tabernacle construction phase, immediately after the curtains were divided into two sets and before the clasps are forged.
The words — וַיַּעַשׂ (va.ya.as) = and he made; לֻלְאֹת (lu.la'ot) = loops.
The thread — This verse executes the ongoing tabernacle instructions, mirroring the original pattern recorded in Exodus 26:4-6 and setting up the fastening mechanism detailed in Exodus 36:13.
Why it lands — The text requires exact numerical and spatial compliance, forcing the builder to verify each edge and align the sets before any joining occurs.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
The Hebrew words
King James Version
And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.
