Numbers 17 (résumé): The budding of Aaron's staff

 Following on from the previous chapter full of rebellion God further underlined his support for Aaron. He requested the staff of the leader of each tribe, with Aaron's staff representing the tribe of Levi. The staffs were put inside the Tabernacle for the night with God saying that the person who was his choice would sprout during the night. The following morning Moses went into the Tabernacle and Aaron's staff had not only sprouted but had budded, flowered and produced almonds! So the other staffs were returned to their owners, but Aaron's staff was kept in the Tabernacle as a sign to the rebellious.
