John Gill Commentary Exodus 26:4

"And thou shalt make loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling; and likewise shalt thou make in the edge of the curtain that is outmost in the second coupling." — Exodus 26:4 (ASV)

And you shall make loops of blue upon the edge of the one
curtain
The first large curtain, consisting of five sewed together, at the edge of that:

from the selvedge in the coupling ;
where it was to be coupled with the other great curtain; "loops" or "eyelet holes" ^F8 , were to be made: these were not woven with the curtains, for they were not to be on all of them, only at the two outermost of the largest ones, and therefore were made afterwards, probably with the needle:

and likewise shall you make in the uppermost edge of [another]
curtain, in the coupling of the second ;
loops also were to be made on the outermost edge of another curtain belonging to the second great curtain, where it was to be coupled with the first.
