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."

New American Standard Bible (1995)

Contextual Overview

¹The Lord instructed Moses: ²“Speak to the Israelites and take one staff from them for each ancestral tribe, twelve staffs from all the leaders of their tribes. Write each man’s name on his staff. ³Write Aaron’s name on Levi’s staff, because there is to be one staff for the head of each tribe. ⁴Then place them in the tent of meeting in front of the testimony where I meet with you. ⁵The staff of the man I choose will sprout, and I will rid myself of the Israelites’ complaints that they have been making about you.” ⁶So Moses spoke to the Israelites, and each of their leaders gave him a staff, one for each of the leaders of their tribes, twelve staffs in all. Aaron’s staff was among them. ⁷Moses placed the staffs before the Lord in the tent of the testimony.

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.
