Numbers 17:1-5 King James Version (KJV)
17 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and take of every one of
them a rod according to the house of their fathers, of all their
princes according to the house of their fathers twelve rods:
write thou every man's name upon his rod.
3 And thou shalt write Aaron's name upon the rod of Levi: for
one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers.
4 And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the
congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.
5 And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod, whom I shall
choose, shall blossom: and I will make to cease from me the
murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmur
against you.
New Heart English Bible
Numbers 17:1-5
17:1 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
17:2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and take of them rods,
one for each fathers' house, of all their princes according to
their fathers' houses, twelve rods: write every man's name on
his rod.
17:3 You shall write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi; for there
shall be one rod for each head of their fathers' houses.
17:4 You shall lay them up in the Tent of Meeting before the
testimony, where I meet with you.
17:5 It shall happen, that the rod of the man whom I shall
choose shall bud: and I will make to cease from me the
murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against
you."
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
1 The Lord spoke to Moses which again shows who God called to be
in charge because He did not speak to anyone else but to Moses.
2-3 This was one from all the twelve tribes and the tribes was
to choose whose name was to go on it, but Levites was to have
Aaron’s name on it because he was already being chosen not it
gave him the chance to stay for them to choose someone meant
that he was not chosen and would have made things corrupt.
4 Moses was going to allow them to decide and then meet them;
Moses was not willing to help them decide whose name was on
their rods. Moses knew who God had put in charge.
5 The Lord was going to do this again to show who was called to
be the priest, the Levite opposition was taken care of with the
death of the sons of Korah this is being done to prevent any
other up rise.
