In the case of the three golden utensils of the sanctuary, the staves were of acacia wood, covered with gold plates.
The staves were of acacia wood and were covered with brass plating.
In the case of the large altar of sacrifice, which was in reality a hollow wooden chest covered with brass (bronze) plates (see ALTAR), four rings were attached to the brass grating which rose midway in the chest, and through these rings the staves passed. These were the golden altar of incense, the golden table for shewbread, the brazen altar of sacrifice, and the ark of the covenant ( Exodus 35:12-16).
#Stick ranger staves portable
In the wilderness wanderings, arrangements were made that four items of the holy furniture of the portable tabernacle should be carried on the shoulders of Levites, suspended on these staves. The reason for this probably is that the original baddim had been lost during the long absence of the sacred chest from its home in the tabernacle. The only passage in which these staves are mentioned by another name is 1 Chronicles 15:15, where the staves used for carrying the ark from its captivity into Jerusalem are called motah. That word is badh (plural baddim), which occurs 28 times in Exodus and Numbers and 5 times in Kings and Chronicles (compare also Job 17:16 Hosea 11:6). One word only is used to describe the staves or wooden poles used for carrying the holy furniture of the tabernacle from place to place. Ten or eleven Hebrew words are used in the Old Testament to describe various staffs, bars, and wooden rods used by the Hebrews (compare STAFF ROD SCEPTER).
