God's Portable Presence
Commentators explain that the staves made the ark portable, symbolizing that God's presence was not confined to one location but journeyed with His people. Charles Spurgeon draws a parallel to the Christian life, noting that just as the ark moved with Israel, Christ's presence is always with believers, fulfilling His promise to be with us always.
