5 A vara daquele que eu escolher florescerá, e eu me livrarei dessa constante queixa dos israelitas contra vocês”.

Números 17:5 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 17:5

And it shall come to pass, that the man's rod whom I shall
choose
Or make it manifest that he had chosen him, and so confirm the choice he had made of him and his family, for the priesthood to be and continue in:

shall blossom;
bud and blossom, and yield fruit, as it afterwards did, which is here declared beforehand, that the miracle might appear the greater, exactly answering to a prediction delivered out before of it:

and I will make to cease from me the murmurings of the children of
Israel, whereby they murmur against you;
against Moses for setting up his brother as an high priest, and establishing the priesthood in his family; and against Aaron for accepting of it, and officiating in it; but by this method now taken, God would for ever silence their murmurings, so that they should never be able, with any face, to object any more to the authority of the Aaronic priesthood, which should appear by the predicted miracle beyond all dispute and contradiction.

Números 17:5 In-Context

3 Na vara de Levi escreva o nome de Arão, pois é preciso que haja uma vara para cada chefe das tribos.

4 Deposite-as na Tenda do Encontro, em frente da arca das tábuas da aliança, onde eu me encontro com vocês.

5 A vara daquele que eu escolher florescerá, e eu me livrarei dessa constante queixa dos israelitas contra vocês”.

6 Assim Moisés falou aos israelitas, e seus líderes deram-lhe doze varas, uma de cada líder das tribos, e a vara de Arão estava entre elas.

7 Moisés depositou as varas perante o SENHOR na tenda que guarda as tábuas da aliança.
