Exodus 30:5

And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood
Of the same wood the altar itself was made:

and overlay them with gold;
as that was; these rings and staves may be an emblem of the precious ordinances of Christ, in which he grants his presence; and where he is held forth in different ages and places as the interceding high priest of his people, their advocate with the Father, pleading continually his propitiatory sacrifice in their favour.
