Context — Moses Approves the Work
32So all the work for the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, was completed. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

34the covering of ram skins dyed red, the covering of fine leather, and the veil of the covering;
35the ark of the Testimony with its poles and the mercy seat; 36the table with all its utensils and the Bread of the Presence;Exodus 39:34 Summary
This verse describes the different coverings of the tabernacle, including ram skins dyed red and fine leather.
