Contextual Overview

8 And it happened on the next day, Moses went into the tabernacle of the testimony, and, behold! The rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had budded, and put forth buds, and bloomed blossoms, and bore ripe almonds. 9 And Moses brought out all the rods from before Jehovah to all the sons of Israel. And they looked, and each one took his rod. 10 And Jehovah said to Moses, Put back the rod of Aaron, before the testimony, to be kept as a token to the sons of rebellion. And you shall end their murmurings off Me; and they shall not die. 11 And Moses did as Jehovah had commanded him; so he did. 12 And the sons of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold, we die, we perish, we all perish. 13 Anyone who draws near to the tabernacle of Jehovah shall die; shall we be consumed to die?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord, unto all the children of Israel,.... He brought them out of the holy place, and showed them to the princes of the several tribes:

and they looked, and took every man his rod; which they knew by their names upon them; by their own handwriting, as Aben Ezra; for though Moses is bid to write their names on them, Numbers 17:2; yet no more may be meant by that than that he should order them to be written, and take care that they were.
