Context of Exodus 36:13

11And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain at the edge of the coupling; he did likewise in the edge of the outermost curtain in the other coupling. 12He made fifty loops in one curtain, and he made fifty loops at the end of the curtain that was in the other coupling: the loops were opposite to one another. And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle became one. 14And he made curtains of goats' [hair] for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains did he make them. 15The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of one curtain — one measure for the eleven curtains.

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-38Much of the report about building the Tent of Meeting repeats what 25:1–31:18 said.
