THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses: "Speak to the People of Israel. Get staffs from them—twelve staffs in all, one from the leader of each of their ancestral tribes. Write each man's name on his staff. Start with Aaron; write Aaron's name on the staff of Levi and then proceed with the rest, a staff for the leader of each ancestral tribe. Now lay them out in the Tent of Meeting in front of The Testimony where I keep appointments with you. What will happen next is this: The staff of the man I choose will sprout. I'm going to put a stop to this endless grumbling by the People of Israel against you."

Contextual Overview
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying, 2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and take of euery one of them a rod, according to the house of their fathers, of all their princes, according to the house of their fathers, twelue rods: write thou euery mans name vpon his rodde. 3 And thou shalt write Aarons name vpon the rod of Leui: for one rod shall be for the head of the house of their fathers. 4 And thou shalt lay them vp in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, before the Testimony, where I will meet with you. 5 And it shall come to passe, that the mans rod whom I shall choose, shall blossome: and I will make to cease from mee the murmurings of the children of Israel, whereby they murmure against you. 6 And Moses spake vnto the children of Israel, and euery one of their Princes gaue him a rod a piece, for each Prince one, according to their fathers houses, euen twelue rods: and the rod of Aaron was among their rods. 7 And Moses layd vp the rods before the Lord, in the Tabernacle of Witnesse.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XVII
The twelve chiefs of the tribes are commanded to take their
rods, and to write the name of each tribe upon the rod that
belonged to its representative; but the name of Aaron is to be
written on the rod of the tribe of Levi, 1-3.
The rods are to be laid up before the Lord, who promises that
the man's rod whom he shalt choose for priest shall blossom,
4, 5.
The rods are produced and laid up before the tabernacle, 6, 7.
Aaron's rod alone buds, blossoms, and bears fruit, 8, 9.
It is laid up before the testimony as a token of the manner in
which God had disposed of the priesthood, 10, 11.
The people are greatly terrified, and are apprehensive of being
destroyed, 12, 13.
