Context of Exodus 26:13

11You are to make fifty bronze clasps and put the clasps into the loops and join the tent together so that it is a unit. 12Now the part that remains of the curtains of the tent – the half curtain that remains will hang over at the back of the tabernacle. The foot and a half on the one side and the foot and a half on the other side of what remains in the length of the curtains of the tent will hang over the sides of the tabernacle, on one side and the other side, to cover it. 14“You are to make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red and over that a covering of fine leather. 15“You are to make the frames for the tabernacle out of acacia wood as uprights.
