John Trapp Complete Commentary

Exodus 25:12

And thou shalt cast four rings of gold for it, and put [them] in the four corners thereof; and two rings [shall be] in the one side of it, and two rings in the other side of it.

Ver. 12, 13. And thou shalt cast four rings, &c.] These staff rings were to continue upon the ark; the Kohathites' shoulders felt wherefore. But "God helped them to bear the ark"; 1Ch 15:26 and so he doth still his gospel ministers.
