Clasps joined them, making the tent one piece. Interpretation: Tradition reads the joining of many curtains into one Tabernacle as a sign of unity, and it holds that the Tabernacle is a model for the whole world. In the primary lessons: In computing lessons (Scratch, coding), a loop repeats instructions, like «repeat 4 times: move 10, turn 90» to draw a square; a «forever» loop never stops. In science, an electric circuit must be a complete loop for the bulb to light. In everyday life you make loops to tie shoelaces; roller coasters do loops. Phrases: «in a loop», «loop the loop», «keep someone in the loop», «out of the loop», «on a loop». ### examples - And thou shalt make fifty clasps of brass, and put the clasps into the loops, and couple the tent together, that it may be one.

In maths, «repeat 4 times» in a loop means the same steps happen 4 times, so multiply: 4 × 90° = 360° for a full turn. ### In the corpora - [Scooby-Doo shakes with fear, Garfield wolfs a tray of lasagne, Sonic zooms round loops faster than sound.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/396-cartoon-animals-put-right-scooby-doo-garfield-sonic-winnie-the-pooh-and-woody-woodpecker/0/) - [Cords and strings longer than a short loop can strangle a baby or toddler.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/everyday/302-toys-and-board-games/22/) - [Along that loop ran one of the worst crimes in history.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/geography/30-the-atlantic-routes-and-the-slave-trade/2/) - [Lower down the river slows and swings in big loops called meanders, like a snake.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/geography/53-rivers-shaping-the-land/4/) - [If it cuts across the neck of a loop, the old loop is left behind as an oxbow lake.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/geography/53-rivers-shaping-the-land/5/) ### Trees and pragmatics [Every meaning and example of «loop» parsed by Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/L/loop/), each sentence with its dependency tree and frames.
