Commentary

Commentary on Numbers 17:10

Theological / Devotional

Bring Aaron’s rod again. Literally, “Cause the staff of Aaron to return.” It was to be returned to the place where the miracle had been performed (Heb. 9:4).

Against the rebels. Literally, “against the children of rebellion” (see 2 Sam. 7:10; Isa. 30:9).

Take away their murmurings. The people would be convinced that to oppose Moses and Aaron would be to set themselves in opposition against God.

That they die not. As God had warned (see ch. 16:21, 45). King Uzziah disregarded the special privilege of the priestly tribe and was stricken with leprosy while he held a censer in his hand (2 Chron. 26:19).
