Exodus 26:15
13 And the tent curtains will be a cubit longer on either side, and the excess will hang over the sides of the tabernacle to cover it.
14 Also make a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.
You are to construct upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
16 Each frame is to be ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
17 Two tenons must be connected to each other for each frame. Make all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
