Question 25: What became of Aaron’s rod?
Answer:
It was preserved in the tabernacle and, according to Paul (see Hebrews 9:4), it was kept in the Ark, beside the two tablets of stone and the pot of manna. There is no mention of any other receptacle. The statement in 1 Kings 8:9 implies that by Solomon's time these relics had disappeared. It is possible however, for a different interpretation to be placed on Deuteronomy 31:26, which may mean that the rod was kept beside the Ark and not within it.

Using Pythagorean theorem the maximum length his rod could have been is less than 1.5 meters / 4.9 foot. That isn't a shepherd's staff, but more like a walking stick.
