Context of Exodus 36:12

10The workers joined five of the curtains together. They did the same thing with the other five curtains. 11They made rings of blue material along the edge of the last curtain in each set of five curtains. They put 50 rings along the edge of the first set. They put another 50 rings along the edge of the second set. The rings on one curtain were opposite to the rings on the other curtain. 13They made 50 small gold hooks to join the curtains together. So a single piece of curtain made the whole tabernacle. 14The workers used goats' hair to make 11 more curtains to cover the tabernacle, like a tent.
