And YHWH said to Moses, “Put back the staff of Aaron before the testimony, to be kept as a sign for the rebels, that you may make an end of their grumblings against me, lest they die.”
Numbers 17:10 #korach

The placement of Aaron's staff before the Ark in the Holy of Holies communicated two truths: First, that God had chosen Aaron to serve before him and no one else. Second, that Aaron's authority over Israel was linked to his role as high priest. Apart from that office, he had no special place above anyone else. In himself, Aaron was nothing special. It was only through God's election that he had any significance to the nation and God's plans.

Then Moses brought out all the staffs from before YHWH to all the people of Israel. And they looked, and each man took his staff.
Numbers 17:9 #korach

A man's staff, like his mantle, banner, and signet ring, was a recognized symbol of his house and authority. It would have been uniquely marked so that everyone would know it was his. The staffs of the tribal chieftains probably held carved texts and symbols associated with their tribes and clans, possibly paints and inlays as well.

On the next day Moses went into the tent of the testimony, and behold, the staff of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and put forth buds and produced blossoms, and it bore ripe almonds.
Numbers 17:8 

Aaron's rod had probably been dead for many years, and well worn from use, yet God still caused it to bloom and produce ripe fruit overnight. Whatever Aaron's faults, sins, or doubts about his own abilities, God chose him to be the high priest of Israel and did it in a way that nobody else could deny.

Write Aaron's name on the staff of Levi. For there shall be one staff for the head of each fathers' house.
Numbers 17:3

Although there is always some kind of power sharing between the various offices in God's government, there is never competition for the same office. Although there are many pretenders, there is only one high priest, one king, and one supreme judge for the nation, and there is only one patriarchal chief of each tribe.

Good Morning Y’all

I thought for sure tomorrow was the 4th… it’s actually Thursday. ?

In scripture, a rod represents authority and the power to guide and punish. This is why YHWH used the staffs of the tribal leaders to illustrate which of them he had chosen for the priesthood in Numbers 17. He didn't do it for his own sake nor for Aaron and Moses. He did it so the people would see and understand.

Speak to the people of Israel, and get from them staffs, one for each fathers' house, from all their chiefs according to their fathers' houses, twelve staffs. Write each man's name on his staff...
Numbers 17:2

Each of the twelve tribes of Israel had a recognized leader and only these were tested. Clement said Moses bound the staffs together and sealed them with the signet rings of all twelve leaders. True or not, it aligns with the reason for using the staffs.

Exodus 20:2, “I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.” What does it really mean to be brought out of the house of slavery? For the mixed multitude it literally meant to be set free from the rule of Pharaoh even though they thought it was better there. As a metaphor it could mean that they were no longer under the authority of a ruler who worshipped pagan gods. For us today it could also be used to describe what it is like to repent and leave behind the sinful things we thought we enjoyed and yes, sometimes we do feel as though we need to go back to them. But just as Moses encouraged the mixed multitude and urged them forward, we should look to the blessings our Creator has for sin the future and not desire the sin that tries to old us to our past.
