Commentary

Commentary on Numbers 17:8

Theological / Devotional

On the morrow. Moses had implicit faith in the immediate operation of divine power.

Tabernacle of witness. That is, the most holy place (see on v. 4).

Yielded almonds. Here was evidence of God’s pleasure. The staff that had been placed there for Aaron could not have received life, germinated, brought forth bud, flower, and mature fruit if God had not imparted to it life and miraculous growth. None could doubt that a miracle had been performed.
