SEV Biblia, Chapter 25:15
Las varas se estarán en los anillos del arca; no se quitarán de ella.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Exodus 25:15
Verse 15. The staves-shall not be taken from it.] Because it should ever be considered as in readiness to be removed, God not having told them at what hour he should command them to strike their tents. If the staves were never to be taken out, how can it be said, as in Num. iv. 6, that when the camp should set forward, they should put in the staves thereof, which intimates that when they encamped, they took out the staves, which appears to be contrary to what is here said? To reconcile these two places, it has been supposed, with great show of probability, that besides the staves which passed through the rings of the ark, and by which it was carried, there were two other staves or poles in the form of a bier or handbarrow, on which the ark was laid in order to be transported in their journeyings, when it and its own staves, still in their rings, had been wrapped up in the covering of what is called badgers' skins and blue cloth. The staves of the ark itself, which might be considered as its handles simply to lift it by, were never taken out of their rings; but the staves or poles which served as a bier were taken from under it when they encamped.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 10-22 - The ark was a chest, overlaid with gold, in which the two tables of the law were to be kept. These tables are called the testimony; God in the testified his will. This law was a testimony to the Israelites, to direct them in their duty, and would be a testimony against them, i they transgressed. This ark was placed in the holy of holies; the bloo of the sacrifices was sprinkled, and the incense burned, before it, by the high priest; and above it appeared the visible glory, which was the symbol of the Divine presence. This was a type of Christ in his sinles nature, which saw no corruption, in personal union with his Divin nature, atoning for our sins against it, by his death. The cherubim of gold looked one towards another, and both looked downward toward the ark. It denotes the angels' attendance on the Redeemer, their readines to do his will, their presence in the assemblies of saints, and their desire to look into the mysteries of the gospel. It was covered with covering of gold, called the mercy-seat. God is said to dwell, or sin between the cherubim, on the mercy-seat. There he would give his law and hear supplicants, as a prince on his throne.
