Brojevi 17:13

Croatian Bible

Zatim stade između mrtvih i živih i zlo se ustavi. Bilo ih je mrtvih od toga zla četrnaest tisuća i sedam stotina, osim onih koji su poginuli zbog Koraha. Aron se vrati k Mojsiju na ulaz u Šator sastanka: pomor se ustavi. Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Razloži Izraelcima te od njih uzmi po jedan štap za svaki predjedovski dom; uzmi od svih njihovih starješina za njihove pradjedovske domove dvanaest štapova. Ime svakoga napiši na njegovu štapu. A kako ima po jedan štap za svakoga starješinu pradjedovskih domova, Aronovo ime napiši na Levijevu štapu. Onda ih pohrani u Šator sastanka pred Svjedočanstvo; ondje gdje se s tobom sastajem. Štap onoga čovjeka koga izaberem propupat će. Tako ću maknuti od sebe rogoborenje Izraelaca kojim prigovaraju vama." Mojsije tako kaza Izraelcima. Sve njihove starješine dadoše mu štap, po jedan štap za svakoga starješinu - dakle, dvanaest štapova za njihove pradjedovske domove. Među njihovim štapovima bio je i štap Aronov. Mojsije pohrani štapove pred Jahvu u Šatoru svjedočanstva. Kad sutradan Mojsije uđe u Šator svjedočanstva, gle: štap Arona iz doma Levijeva propupao! Potjerala mladica, procvjetao cvijet i sazreli bademi. Tada iznese Mojsije ispred Jahve sve štapove sinovima Izraelovim. Oni ih razgledaše, a onda svatko uze svoj štap. Jahve reče Mojsiju: "Opet stavi Aronov štap pred Svjedočanstvo, neka se čuva za znak buntovnim sinovima. Dokončaj tako njihovo rogoborenje protiv mene da ne izginu." I učini Mojsije: kako mu je Jahve zapovjedio, tako učini. "Izgibosmo!" - rekoše Izraelci Mojsiju. "Propadosmo! Svi odreda propadosmo! Tko god priđe Jahvinu prebivalištu, umire ... Zar ćemo svi izginuti?"

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Whosoever cometh anything near unto the tabernacle of the Lord shall die,.... They who before were so bold and daring as to think the priesthood was common to them with Aaron, or they had as good a right to it, and might go into the sanctuary of the Lord where he did, are now so frightened at the rod being laid up as a token against them, that they thought they must not come near the tabernacle at all, and, if they did, would be in the utmost danger of death:

shall we be consumed with dying? such violent deaths, until there are none left of us? but the Syriac and Arabic versions render the words affirmatively; we are near or about to be consumed; and so the Targum of Onkelos, lo, we are to be consumed; which agrees best with the preceding clause, for they would scarcely make a question of what they had affirmed.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

A new section should begin with these verses. They are connected retrospectively with Numbers 16:0; and form the immediate introduction to Numbers 18:0. The people were terror-stricken by the fate of the company of Korah and by the plague. Presumption passed by reaction into despair. Was there any approach for them to the tabernacle of the Lord? Was there any escape from death, except by keeping aloof from His presence? The answers are supplied by the ordinances which testified that the God of judgment was still a God of grace and of love.
