And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
Exodus 37:5 records one part of the larger work God instructed Moses to do in making the tabernacle and its furnishings. The ark with its staves and rings was fashioned under that divine instruction as an appointed element of the sanctuary work. Skillful men were not lacking to accomplish the making of the ark, the tabernacle, and the vessels of solid gold. At the same time women wrought the embroidery in silver and gold with great ingenuity, contributing their skilled labor to the same instructed work.
