You shall make fifty clasps of gold, and couple the curtains one to another with the clasps: and the tent shall be a unit.

The Golden Clasps of Unity

The fifty golden clasps served the crucial purpose of joining two large sets of curtains to make the tabernacle "one whole." Commentators explain this detail symbolizes a profound spiritual truth. Just as many pieces were made into one dwelling for God, the church, though composed of many individuals, is called to be one body in Christ. The use of precious gold highlights the divine value of this unity.
