I’m curious, how did Aaron’s rod that budded and the sealed ephod of manna represent disobedience?
Numbers 17:10
The Ark of the Covenant is also referenced as the Ark of Testimonies.
Num 17:10
(10) And the LORD said unto Moses, Bring Aaron’s rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a token against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
Numbers 15-17 describes the rejection of legitimate Authority as chosen by God by the others in the Israelite tribes. The last situation begged by Moses and Aaron, resulted in the Lord directing the 12 families to bring a rod each, one of the Levi’s with Aaron’s name on it, and the one He chose would bud. Aaron’s rod budded.
Numbers 17:10 points directly at the rod to represent a token against the rebels. It represented their sin,..i.e. their disobedience to God’s Authority.
