THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses: "Speak to the People of Israel. Get staffs from them—twelve staffs in all, one from the leader of each of their ancestral tribes. Write each man's name on his staff. Start with Aaron; write Aaron's name on the staff of Levi and then proceed with the rest, a staff for the leader of each ancestral tribe. Now lay them out in the Tent of Meeting in front of The Testimony where I keep appointments with you. What will happen next is this: The staff of the man I choose will sprout. I'm going to put a stop to this endless grumbling by the People of Israel against you."

Contextual Overview

¹ Adonai said to Moshe, ² "Tell El‘azar the son of Aharon the cohen to remove the fire pans from the fire, and scatter the smoldering coals at a distance, because they have become holy. ³ Also the fire pans of these men, whose sin cost them their lives, have become holy, because they were offered before Adonai . Therefore, have them hammered into plates to cover the altar. This will be a sign for the people of Isra'el." ⁴ El‘azar the cohen took the brass fire pans which the men who had been burned to death had offered, and they hammered them into a covering for the altar, ⁵ to remind the people of Isra'el that an ordinary person, not descended from Aharon, is not to approach and burn incense before Adonai , if he wants to avoid the fate of Korach and his group — as Adonai had said to him through Moshe. ⁶ But the very next day, the whole community of the people of Isra'el complained against Moshe and Aharon: "You have killed Adonai 's people!" ⁷ However, as the community was assembling against Moshe and Aharon, they looked in the direction of the tent of meeting and saw the cloud cover it and the glory of Adonai appear.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XVII

The twelve chiefs of the tribes are commanded to take their

rods, and to write the name of each tribe upon the rod that

belonged to its representative; but the name of Aaron is to be

written on the rod of the tribe of Levi, 1-3.

The rods are to be laid up before the Lord, who promises that

the man's rod whom he shalt choose for priest shall blossom,

4, 5.

The rods are produced and laid up before the tabernacle, 6, 7.

Aaron's rod alone buds, blossoms, and bears fruit, 8, 9.

It is laid up before the testimony as a token of the manner in

which God had disposed of the priesthood, 10, 11.

The people are greatly terrified, and are apprehensive of being

destroyed, 12, 13.
