“The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,”
Exodus 39:35 (KJV)
Commentary on Exodus 39:35
The ark of the testimony (אֲרוֹן הָעֵדֻת, aron ha'edut) with its staves (בַּדָּיו, badav) and mercy seat (כַּפֹּרֶת, kaporet) represents God's throne. The 'testimony' (עֵדֻת, edut, i.e., the Ten Commandments) inside the ark taught that God's law stands at the center of His covenant. The mercy seat atop the law showed that mercy covers justice through atoning blood sprinkled there (Leviticus 16:14-15). This furniture prefigures Christ, who perfectly kept the law (Matthew 5:17) and became mercy for lawbreakers (Romans 3:25, hilasterion, propitiation/mercy seat).
