Exodus 25:15

13 And make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.

14 Insert the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, in order to carry it.

The poles are to remain in the rings of the ark; they must not be removed.

16 And place inside the ark the Testimony, which I will give you.

17 And you are to construct a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
