Commentary
Gill's Exposition
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 Num 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 Exo 25:27 ; and the same phrase being used as here of the staves of the ark in Num 4:6 ; seems to confirm the sense of them there, that they were taken out and put in upon this occasion, though otherwise fixed.
