Context of Exodus 26:12
10Make 50 loops along the edge of the end sheet in each set. 11Make 50 bronze fasteners, and put them through the loops to link the inner tent together as a single unit. The remaining half-sheet should hang over the back of the inner tent. 13There will be 18 inches left over on each side because of the length of the outer tent’s sheets. That part should hang over each side in order to cover the inner tent. 14Make a cover of rams’ skins that have been dyed red for the outer tent. Over that put a cover made of fine leather.
