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 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,2 "Speak to the sons of Israel, and obtain from them a staff for each father's household: twelve staffs, from all their leaders for their fathers' households. You shall write each man's name on his staff, 3 and write Aaron's name on the staff of Levi; for there is to be one staff for the head of each of their fathers' households. 4 "You shall then leave them in the tent of meeting in front of the testimony, where I meet with you. 5 "And it will come about that the staff of the man whom I choose will sprout. So I will relieve Myself of the grumblings of the sons of Israel, who are grumbling against you." 6 So Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and all their leaders gave him a staff, one for each leader, for their fathers' households, twelve staffs in all, with the staff of Aaron among their staffs. 7 Then Moses left the staffs before the LORD in the tent of the testimony.

saying: as follows.
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.
