9623. 'And you shall make fifty loops on the edge of one end curtain in the joining-place' means a complete joining of one sphere to the other; 'and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain of the complementary joining-place' means a reciprocal joining together of the same kind. This is clear from what has been shown already in 9605-9609.

9605. 'And you shall make loops of violet' means a joining together by means of the celestial love of truth. This is clear from the meaning of 'loops' as a joining together, the reason why this is meant by 'loops' being that they serve to join things together; and from the meaning of 'violet' as the celestial love of truth, dealt with in 9466.
