3 Five curtains shall be coupled to one another, and the other five curtains shall be coupled to one another.
4 And you shall make loops of blue yarn on the edge of the curtain on the selvedge of one set, and likewise you shall do on the outer edge of the other curtain of the second set.
5 Fifty loops you shall make in the one curtain, and fifty loops you shall make on the edge of the curtain that is on the end of the second set, that the loops may be clasped to one another.

沉思
《出埃及记 26：1-6》
1 “你要用十幅幔子做帐幕。这些幔子要用捻的细麻和蓝色、紫色、朱红色线制造，并用巧匠的手工绣上基路伯。
2每幅幔子要长二十八肘，宽四肘，幔子都要一样的尺寸。
3这五幅幔子要幅幅相连，那五幅幔子也要幅幅相连。
4在这相连的幔子末幅边上要做蓝色的纽扣，在那相连的幔子末幅边上也要照样做。
5要在这相连的幔子上做五十个纽扣，在那相连的幔子上也做五十个纽扣，都要两两相对。6又要做五十个金钩，用钩使幔子相连，这才成了一个帐幕。
