“The poles (of the Ark) shall remain in the rings of the ark. They shall not be removed from it.” (Exodus 25:15)
“The constant presence of the בדים testifies that God’s Torah is not bound to or dependent on any particular place—testimony that is boldly underscored by the contrast between the Ark and the other furnishings of the Sanctuary, especially the Table and the Menorah, which do not have permanently attached בדים.” (The Hirsch Chumash, 2014, Exodus, 25:15 in the Hirsch Anthology, (New York, NY: Feldheim, 2017) p. 447).
