lu.lay denotes the repeated blue fastening features placed along curtain edges and aligned for joining the tent coverings.

Senses in use

  1. Curtain-edge fastening features for joining · dominant

    The plural noun identifies features made on the edges of curtain sets in Exodus 26:4 and Exodus 36:11; in both verses the APB renders the clause "loops of blue" at the curtain edge. In Exodus 26:11, Exodus 26:5, Exodus 36:12, Exodus 26:10, and Exodus 36:17, these features are repeatedly placed in matching sets; the APB describes clasps being brought into them to join the tent and describes them as "opposite one another" or "receiving one to one."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the occurrences, the APB consistently presents the term as "loops," including "loops of blue" and loops into which clasps are brought. These renderings confirm the construction context without establishing finer lexical distinctions.
