Numbers 20:8,9 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Take the rod That which was laid up before the Lord in the tabernacle; whether it was Aaron's rod, which was laid up there, (Numbers 17:10,) or Moses's rod, by which he wrought so many miracles. For it is likely that wonder-working rod was laid up in some part of the tabernacle, though not in or near the ark, where Aaron's blossoming rod was put. From before the Lord Out of the tabernacle.

Numbers 20:8-9

8 Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink.

9 And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him.
