Context of Exodus 26:14
12As for the flap that remains from the tent curtains, the leftover half curtain is to hang over the back of the tabernacle. 13What remains along the length of the tent curtains — a half yard on one side and a half yard on the other side — should hang over the sides of the tabernacle on either side to cover it. Make a covering for the tent from ram skins dyed red and a covering of fine leather on top of that. 15“You are to make upright supports of acacia wood for the tabernacle. 16Each support is to be fifteen feet long and twenty-seven inches wide.
