Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Exodus 30:4

And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make [it]; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.

4. upon the two ribs thereof ] i.e. upon its flanks or sides, a common metaph. sense of ‘rib’ in Heb. (see on Exo 25:12). The words seem tautologous beside the following ‘upon the two sides of it’; either they have come in here by error, through a recollection of Exo 27:12, or (Di.) the expression denotes the extreme ends of the two sides, near the corners.

sides ] not as v. 3, but the usual word for ‘side,’ Exo 26:13, &c.

4, 5. The rings and acacia-wood poles, for the transport of the altar, as in the case of the ark (Exo 25:12-15), the table of Presence bread (Exo 25:26-28), and the Bronze altar (Exo 27:4-7).

And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it,…. The crown was on the top of the altar, at the edge of it all around; and just underneath it were two rings of gold, two on each side:

by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shall thou make them; at each corner a ring, and at each side; the use of them follows:

and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal; these rings were for the staves to be put into when the altar was to be carried from place to place, as it was in the wilderness, during the travels of Israel there; and this signifies that Christ never leaves his people; when they are in the wilderness he is with them, interceding for them, providing all things necessary for their food, safety, and protection, Re 12:14.

(4) Two golden rings.The golden altar was so much smaller and lighter than the brazen one that two rings only were required for carrying it, instead of the four rings needed by the brazen altar (Exo. 27:4).

By the two corners thereof.Rather, on the two sides thereof. The word used means, literally, ribs, and is explained in the clause which follows.

Did not this crown refer to the kingly office, as well as the priestly office, of the Lord Jesus? Zec 6:11-13 . And Jesus intercedes as one that hath power with God, and must prevail. His language is, Father I will. Joh 17:24 .
