(2) And take of every one of them . . . --Better, And take of them a rod for each father's house. Twelve rods.--Some suppose that Aaron's rod was not included amongst the twelve. Others suppose that one rod only was taken for the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh. The latter supposition is more accordant with the terms here employed than the former, and is supported by Deuteronomy 27:12-13, where Joseph stands for the two tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, and Levi is included amongst the twelve tribes. Write thou every man's name upon his rod.--This was in accordance with an Egyptian custom. (See Wilkinson's Ancient Egyptians, III. 388.) The prophet Ezekiel received a similar injunction (Ezekiel 37:16). Verse 2. - Take of every one of them a rod. Literally, "take of them a rod, a rod," i.e., a rod apiece, in the way immediately particularized. מַטֶּה (Septuagint, ῥάβδον,) is used for the staff of Judah (Genesis 38:18) and for the rod of Moses (Exodus 4:2). It is also used in the sense of "tribe" (Numbers 1:4, 16). Each tribe was but a branch, or rod, out of the stock of Israel, and, therefore, was most naturally represented by the rod cut from the tree. 'The words used for scepter in Genesis 49:10, and in Psalm 45:7, and for rod in Isaiah 11:1, and elsewhere are different, but the same imagery underlies the use of all of them. Of all their princes... twelve rods. These princes must be those named in chapter 2 and 7. Since among these are to be found the tribe princes of Ephraim and Manasseh, standing upon a perfect equality with the rest, it is evident that the twelve rods were exclusive of that of Aaron. The joining together of Ephraim and Manasseh in Deuteronomy 27:12 was a very different thing, because it could not raise any question as between the two. 17:1-7 It is an instance of the grace of God, that, having wrought divers miracles to punish sin, he would work one more to prevent it. Twelve rods or staves were to be brought in. It is probable that they were the staves which the princes used as ensigns of their authority; old dry staves, that had no sap in them. They were to expect that the rod of the tribe, or prince, whom God chose to the priesthood, should bud and blossom. Moses did not object that the matter was sufficiently settled already; he did not undertake to determine it; but left the case before the Lord.Jump to Previous Children House Household Houses Israel Leaders Princes Rod Rods Speak Twelve WriteJump to Next Children House Household Houses Israel Leaders Princes Rod Rods Speak Twelve WriteLinks Numbers 17:2 NIVNumbers 17:2 NLT Numbers 17:2 ESV Numbers 17:2 NASB Numbers 17:2 KJV Numbers 17:2 Bible Apps Numbers 17:2 Biblia Paralela Numbers 17:2 Chinese Bible Numbers 17:2 French Bible Numbers 17:2 German Bible Alphabetical: a according all ancestral and each fathers father's for from get his household households Israel Israelites leader leaders man name of on one rod rods shall sons Speak staff staffs the their them to tribes twelve Write You OT Law: Numbers 17:2 Speak to the children of Israel (Nu Num.)
