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).

The ark - See Exodus 25:10-17.

The ark, and the staves thereof, [with] the mercy seat, and the vail of the (c) covering,
(c) Which hung before the mercyseat so it could not be seen.

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.
