Numbers 17:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Numbers 17:8

6 So Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and each of their leaders gave him a rod apiece, for each leader according to their fathers’ houses, twelve rods; and the rod of Aaron was among their rods.

7 And Moses placed the rods before the Lord in ^athe tabernacle of witness.

8 Now it came to pass on the next day that Moses went into the tabernacle of witness, and behold, the ^arod of Aaron, of the house of Levi, had sprouted and put forth buds, had produced blossoms and yielded ripe almonds.

9 Then Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord to all the children of Israel; and they looked, and each man took his rod.

10 And the Lord said to Moses, “Bring ^aAaron’s rod back before the Testimony, to be kept ^bas a sign against the rebels, ^cthat you may put their complaints away from Me, lest they die.”

11 Thus did Moses; just as the Lord had commanded him, so he did.

12 So the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, “Surely we die, we perish, we all perish!
