Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Numbers 17:11
And Moses did [so]: as the LORD commanded him, so did he.
And Moses did so; as the Lord commanded him, even so did he. Took Aaron’s rod, and laid it up before the ark for the purpose mentioned, being a faithful servant to God in all his house.

Whether the people expressed themselves in these words under a sense of fear or submission, or both, I will not determine. But as the LORD had graciously undertaken to take away their murmurings, it may sense to teach us how very effectual the LORD’S means are when the LORD is pleased to work. And yet still more, how great our mercies are, that we are brought under a dearer and a better dispensation, established upon better promises; and have at all times our high priest who is gone in before the mercy-seat for us that we die not, under whose advocacy and propitiation his people are secured from danger. 1Jn 2:1-2 .
