Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 20. - The testimony - i.e., the two tables of stone containing the Ten Commandments (Exodus 25:16; Exodus 31:18). Set the staves on the ark. "Put the staves," that is, "into the rings, and left them there" (Exodus 25:14). Put the mercy seat above upon the ark. See Exodus 25:21.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20) He took and put the testimony into the ark.--By "the testimony" we must understand the two tables of stone, written with the finger of God, which Moses had brought down with him from the top of Sinai on his last visit (Exodus 34:29). On the use of the word "testimony" in this sense, see Note to Exodus 25:16. It is not proved by this passage that the Ark held nothing but "the testimony."Set the staves on the ark--i.e., placed them in the rings, ready for use. (See Exodus 25:14.)
