Numbers 17:6-8
So God tells why He is doing this. He wants to end the griping.
Understand that these rods were dead. Who knows how long they had been a walking staff, because that is really what they were. They were a staff that a person would carry along with him as he walked. They may have been cut years before, so they were dead. What we have here is a miracle in which life comes out of that which is dead. Now is there anybody who could possibly deny what had occurred here?
Please understand that God is going through this so that we will understand how important sanctification is—the setting of us apart—for His use, for His service, and nobody is going to horn in on what He has appointed His people, either as a body or as individual, are responsible for.
