And make poles
The instruction to "make poles" signifies the importance of mobility and readiness in the service of God. The Hebrew word for "poles" is "badim," which implies something that is separate or distinct. This can be seen as a metaphor for the believer's life, set apart for God's purposes. The poles were essential for carrying the Ark of the Covenant, symbolizing the need for believers to carry God's presence with them wherever they go.

of acacia wood
Acacia wood, known in Hebrew as "shittim," is a durable and resistant material, often used in the construction of sacred objects. Its resilience against decay symbolizes the incorruptible nature of God's covenant and His eternal promises. Acacia wood's prevalence in the desert regions where the Israelites wandered also highlights God's provision, using what was available to fulfill His divine plans.

and overlay them with gold
The overlaying of the poles with gold represents the divine nature and glory of God. Gold, a precious and pure metal, is often associated with royalty and divinity in the Bible. This act of overlaying signifies the transformation of the ordinary (acacia wood) into something extraordinary through God's presence. It serves as a reminder that when we are covered by God's grace, our lives reflect His glory and holiness. The use of gold also underscores the value and sacredness of the objects associated with worship, pointing to the reverence due to God in all aspects of life.

Verse 13. - Staves of shittim wood. Similar staves, or poles, are to be seen in the Egyptian sculptures, attached to arks, thrones, and litters, and resting on the shoulders of the men who carry such objects.
