Make fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set
The instruction to make fifty loops is part of the detailed design for the Tabernacle, a portable earthly dwelling place for God among the Israelites. The number fifty often symbolizes completeness or fullness in the Bible, as seen in the Year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25:10). The loops were likely made of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, materials that signify royalty and divinity, reflecting the sacred nature of the Tabernacle. The end curtain in the first set refers to the outermost curtain of the first grouping of curtains, which were made of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, as described earlier in Exodus 26. This meticulous design underscores the importance of precision and order in worship, reflecting God's holiness and the need for reverence.

and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set
The corresponding curtain in the second set indicates a parallel structure, ensuring that the two sets of curtains could be joined together seamlessly. This connection between the two sets of curtains symbolizes unity and completeness, reflecting the unity of God's people and His covenant with them. The use of loops and clasps to join the curtains can be seen as a type of Christ, who unites believers and reconciles them to God. The detailed instructions for the Tabernacle's construction highlight the importance of following God's commands precisely, as the Tabernacle was a shadow of heavenly realities (Hebrews 8:5). The joining of the curtains also signifies the interconnectedness of the Old and New Covenants, with the Tabernacle foreshadowing the coming of Christ, who would dwell among His people as the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise.

Symbolism of Christ
The Tabernacle and its elements point to Jesus Christ, who is the ultimate fulfillment of God's plan to dwell with humanity.Verse 10. - Fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that coupleth the second. Rather, "fifty loops at the edge of the second curtain of coupling." The two portions of the goats' hair covering were to be united in exactly the same way as those of the inner awning of linen. Fifty loops were to be sewn on to the edge of the extreme, or outermost, breadth of each portion, and these loops were to be connected by clasps or links. The outermost breadth on which the loops are sewn, is called the curtain of coupling."
