Exodus 26:6

Exodus 26:6

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

The Authorised Version gives the sense fairly. The two curtains, each composed of five "breadths," were to be united by means of one hundred loops, fifty on each curtain, which were to be coupled together by fifty "taches" or clasps.

The loops were to be of the "blue" material used generally in the textile fabrics of the tabernacle (; , , ), and the "taches" or clasps were to be of gold.

In this way the covering of the mishkan was to be completed.
