Gill's Notes on the Bible

The ark and the staves thereof,.... To carry it with, which were all made of shittim wood:

[with] the mercy seat; made of pure gold; these were set in the most holy place:

and the vail of the covering; which divided between the holy and the holy of holies; of these see Exodus 25:10.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The covering - This is not the same as the covering of Exodus 35:11, which denotes the covering of the tent (see Exodus 26:14): the word is used here for the entrance curtains (see Exodus 26:36; Exodus 27:16).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 35:12. The ark — See Exodus 25:10-17.
