Exodus 25:13-15

Poles of acacia wood, overlaid with gold, to be made for the transport of the ark. Cf. 1 Kings 8:7 f. Similar poles are provided for carrying the table of Presence-bread, vv.27 f., the altar of burnt-offering, Exodus 26:6 f., and the altar of incense, Exodus 30:4 f. The word (bad), except in these connexions, is rare. Egyptian shrines, and sacred -arks," were carried in procession similarly: see Wilk.-B. iii., Plate opp. p. 355, E; EB.i. 307; Erman, p. 276.
