The number five often symbolizes grace in biblical numerology. The curtains, made of fine linen, represent purity and righteousness, reflecting God's holiness.

Teaching Points Unity in PurposeJust as the curtains were joined together to form a unified structure, believers are called to unity in the body of Christ. This unity is essential for the church to function effectively as the dwelling place of God. Attention to Detail The specific instructions for the Tabernacle highlight the importance of following God's commands with precision. In our lives, we should strive to obey God's Word carefully and faithfully. God's Presence The Tabernacle was a physical representation of God's presence among His people. Today, we are reminded that God dwells within us through the Holy Spirit, and we should live in a way that honors His presence. Symbolism of the Tabernacle The Tabernacle and its components symbolize deeper spiritual truths, such as the holiness of God and the need for atonement. Studying these symbols can deepen our understanding of God's plan of salvation. Preparation for Worship The construction of the Tabernacle required preparation and dedication. Similarly, we should prepare our hearts and lives for worship, ensuring that we are ready to meet with God.(3) The five curtains.--It is anomalous that the article should be used here. Probably it has crept in from "the curtains" of the preceding verse. The meaning is that five "breadths" should be sewn together to form one curtain, and five other "breadths" to form another, and then that the two curtains so formed should be joined into one by means of "loops" and "taches." The object of making two curtains instead of one was clearly portability. The entire covering would have been too heavy and too bulky to be conveniently carried in one piece.Verse 3. - When the ten "breadths" had been woven, five were to be sewn together to form one portion of the awning, and the other five to form another portion, the reason for this being, probably, that if all the ten breadths had been sewn together, the awning would have been too cumbrous to have been readily folded together, or easily conveyed when the people journeyed.
