Subject: What became of Moses rod? |
Bible Note: Hello prayon! I'm sorry, the rod of Moses and the rod of Aaron are one in the same! :) I failed to mention that in my previous post.. Here's an excerpt from the Holman Bible Dictionary, "AARON’s ROD The rod Aaron used to demonstrate to the Pharaoh that the God of the Hebrews was Lord. It became a snake when cast down (Ex. 7:8-13) and brought about the first three plagues (Ex. 7:19-20; 8:5-7, 16-19). This rod was also used to strike the rocks at Horeb and Kadesh to bring forth water (Ex. 17:1-7; Num. 20:7-11). The rebellion of Korah (Num. 16:1-50) made it necessary to determine who would be eligible to come before God in the tabernacle as priests (see Korah). The head of each tribe was to inscribe his name on an almond rod representing his tribe, and each rod was placed in the tabernacle. The next morning, Aaron’s rod had blossomed and borne almonds. This was taken as a sign from God that the house of Aaron had the right to serve Him in the tabernacle. The rod was placed inside the tabernacle (Num. 17:1-11). According to Hebrews 9:4, the rod was kept in the ark of the covenant." So you are absolutely right: it was kept in the Ark of the Covenant! My 'presumption' is still in agreement with what you stated, but I did not state that there was one single rod and I did not cite Hebrews 9:4, where it says that the rod was kept in the ark.. I said 'with' the ark and not beside. I was focused solely on Moses and not Aaron, and I should have included Aaron here too. I apologize, and I hope that this post is a little clearer. Thanks for a good study! Nolan |
