Read Numbers 17 here (text coming …) or at Bible Gateway.
The Hebrew paragraphs:
17:1-9 {p} Aaron’s rod budded
17:10-11 {p} Aaron’s rod kept as a memorial before the ark of the covenant
17:12-13 {s} Children of Israel: Whoever comes near the tabernacle perishes
The Chiastic Structure from Num 17:1-11:
Aaron as high priest is another Prophetic Type and foreshadow of Messiah from Torah. The leaders of the congregation of the children of Israel rejected Messiah Yeshua also from mediating for them. But just as the dead stick of Aaron’s rod was placed in a box, and when it was opened, it was found to have budded with new life, bringing forth both flowers and ripe almonds, so the dead body of Messiah Yeshua was placed in the tomb, and when it was opened, He was not there, but was found to have been raised with new life. By this Sign of Resurrection Life, YHVH puts away the complaints of the children of Israel.
