Commentary on Numbers 17:2
Each tribal leader provided a rod with his name inscribed—twelve rods total, with Aaron's name on Levi's rod. The specificity ensured no ambiguity: God's choice would be unmistakable. This careful process demonstrates that God's will is meant to be clear, not mysterious or subject to endless debate. Divine election produces visible, confirmable results.
