He joined
The Hebrew word used here is "chabar," which means to bind or join together. This action signifies unity and cohesion, reflecting God's desire for His people to be united in purpose and spirit. In the construction of the Tabernacle, this joining symbolizes the interconnectedness of the community of believers, each part essential to the whole. The act of joining also points to the divine order and precision in God's instructions, emphasizing that every detail in His plan is significant.

five of the curtains
The number five in biblical numerology often represents grace. The five curtains joined together can be seen as a representation of God's grace covering His people. In the context of the Tabernacle, these curtains were part of the outer layer, providing protection and beauty. This reminds us of the grace that covers and protects us, allowing us to dwell in the presence of God.

into one set
The phrase "into one set" underscores the concept of unity and completeness. The Tabernacle was a place where God's presence dwelled among His people, and the unity of the curtains reflects the unity required among the people of God. This unity is a precursor to the unity found in the body of Christ, where believers are called to be one in spirit and purpose.

and the other six curtains
The number six often symbolizes human effort or imperfection, as it falls short of the divine number seven. The six curtains, when joined, remind us of the human element in the divine plan. While human efforts are imperfect, they are made complete when joined with God's instructions and grace. This serves as a reminder that our efforts, though flawed, are used by God to fulfill His perfect plan.

into another set
This phrase indicates a separation yet a parallel to the first set of curtains. It suggests that while there may be different roles or functions within the body of believers, each part is essential and contributes to the overall purpose. The two sets of curtains, though distinct, work together to form the covering of the Tabernacle, symbolizing the diversity and unity within the church.
