Contextual Overview

8 On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony—and the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted, and brought forth buds, and produced blossoms, and yielded almonds! 9 So Moses brought out all the staffs from before the Lord to all the Israelites. They looked at them, and each man took his staff. 10 The Lord said to Moses, "Bring Aaron's staff back before the testimony to be preserved for a sign to the rebels, so that you may bring their murmurings to an end before me, that they will not die." 11 So Moses did as the Lord commanded him—this is what he did. 12 The Israelites said to Moses, "We are bound to die! We perish, we all perish! 13 Anyone who even comes close to the tabernacle of the Lord will die! Are we all to die?"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses did so; as the Lord commanded him, even so did he. Took Aaron's rod, and laid it up before the ark for the purpose mentioned, being a faithful servant to God in all his house.
