Context
The Budding of Aaron’s Staff
17:1 The Lord spoke to Moses :
17:2 “Speak to the Israelites , and receive from them a staff from each tribe , one from every tribal leader , twelve staffs ; you must write each man’s name on his staff .
17:3 You must write Aaron’s name on the staff of Levi ; for one staff is for the head of every tribe .
17:4 You must place them in the tent of meeting before the ark of the covenant where I meet with you.
17:5 And the staff of the man whom I choose will blossom ; so I will rid myself of the complaints of the Israelites , which they murmur against you.”
17:6 So Moses spoke to the Israelites , and each of their leaders gave him a staff , one for each leader , according to their tribes – twelve staffs ; the staff of Aaron was among their staffs .
17:7 Then Moses placed the staffs before the Lord in the tent of the testimony .
17:8 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 !
17:9 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 .
The Memorial
17:10 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 .”
17:11 So Moses did as the Lord commanded him– this is what he did .
