Verse 8
And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet ,.... Upon the dishes and other vessels belonging to the shewbread table, and on the shewbread itself:
and cover the same with a covering of badgers' skins ; this was clearly the outward covering, and seems to confirm the observation made in Numbers 4:6 ; that the same sort of covering was the outermost covering of the ark:
and shall put in the staves thereof ; which belonged to the table, and were made to carry it with on occasion, from place to place; see Exodus 25:27 ; and the same phrase being used as here of the staves of the ark in Numbers 4:6 ; seems to confirm the sense of them there, that they were taken out and put in upon this occasion, though otherwise fixed.
