Thou shalt make bars of shittim wood.

Nothing could be more absurd than to describe the Deity as a material being who dwelt in a box of shittim wood in the temple.

Mr. Carlile: Is it not actually the case, that God is represented in the text as dwelling in a box of shittim wood in the temple?

So there came to his perception not only the sublime laws received at Sinai, but also the particulars regarding the tabernacle and its furnishing—the rings and the curtains, the dishes and spoons and bowls and covers, the rams’ skins dyed red, the badgers’ skins, and the staves of shittim wood.

It is generally supposed to be the same species of wood mentioned as the shittim wood in the Scriptures.
