The word “tabernacle” משׁכן mı̂shkān is here used for the full name, the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. It denotes the entire structure.

The list ends with the woven garments for ministering in the holy place for Aaron and his sons. Aaron is named in his office three chapters after he took the people's gold for the calf at 32:2 to 4.
This site's exposition
the tent pegs for the tabernacle
The tent pegs and their ropes are the smallest items on the list, and 27:19 orders every peg made of bronze. John Gill reports Jarchi's view that they held the tabernacle and courtyard curtains fast against the wind. Exodus 38:20 records them made.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
23 And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers' skins, brought them. 24 Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the L ORD 's offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it.

The pins of the tabernacle,.... Which were to fix and fasten the ends of the curtains in the ground, that they might not be moved with the wind, as Jarchi observes: and the pins of the court, and their cords; which were for the same use; see Exo 27:19.
