Numbers 17:1-2
Excerpted from: Sanctification and Holiness (Part 3)What we are going to see in chapter 17 is miracle Number Three, because God is not done yet to show how important sanctification is to Him.
I take that to mean that each one of the leaders of the tribe, the prince of the tribe, brought forth a rod. It does not stipulate what kind of wood the rod had to be. It only stipulates that it turned out that the rod for Levi—meaning Aaron's staff—came from an almond tree. It is possible that twelve different kinds of wood were represented here. And then the names of the tribes were written on the rods. There was one rod for Joseph, another rod for Reuben, and another rod for Benjamin, and of course the rod that had Levi's name written on it.
Numbers 17:1-5
Excerpted from: Eden, The Garden, and The Two Trees (Part Three)Now we are going to go to Numbers 17. God was not done yet with what this revolution had stirred up.
That is the last time Aaron had that rod in his possession because God claimed it. What God did here was confirm before all the Israelites that Aaron and his descendants were chosen of Him and were to represent Him before the people in religious matters. Paul's writing in Hebrews 9 confirms that the almond rod was still there.
