All the staves were placed in front of the ark for that night.<\/p>\n Before the testimony – <\/B>See Num 17:10<\/span> note.<\/P><\/p>\n Before the testimony, <\/B>i.e. before the ark of the testimony; either mediately, close by the veil behind which the ark stood; or rather immediately, within the veil in the most holy place, close by the ark, as may be gathered by comparing this place with Num 17:10<\/span>, and with Heb 9:4<\/span>. <\/P> I will meet with you, <\/B>and manifest my mind to you for the ending of this dispute. <\/P> <\/p>\n And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation<\/strong>,…. In the most holy place:<\/p>\n before the testimony<\/strong>; that is, the ark in which the testimony or the law was; here they were laid as in the presence of God, who was in a miraculous way to decide the controversy by them, and put an end to it; for upon the ark was the mercy seat, over which were the cherubim, the seat of the divine Majesty, and where none could come at them, and where no fraud could be supposed to be committed:<\/p>\n where I will meet with you<\/strong>; not with the people in person, who might not go at any time into the most holy place; nor with Aaron, who only might go into it on the day of atonement; but with Moses, the chief ruler and representative of the whole body of the people, and who might go in there at any time, to consult with God about matters of moment and difficulty, and where the Lord had said he would meet him,<\/p>\n Ex 25:22<\/span>; and now would, in a miraculous way, clearly show him, and the people of Israel by him, who was the priest he had chosen of all the tribes.<\/p>\n 4. And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle. The place itself had not a little to do with the effectual decision of the matter; because it was clearly manifested that God was the author of the miracle, and consequently that the priesthood proceeded from Him. For we have elsewhere said that the whole government of the Church so entirely depends upon His decree, that men are not permitted to interfere with it. Wherefore He set the ark of the covenant in opposition to the voices of the whole people, in order to testify that no further dispute was to be raised respecting the priest, whom He had appointed by His own declaration and authority. At the same time, it had the effect of consoling the people, and silencing their complaints that the rods of all the tribes were brought in common into the sanctuary before God; for, although a peculiar dignity was accorded to that of Aaron alone, still the people ceased not to be a priestly kingdom. Hence it follows, that the honorable privilege conferred on one family contributed to the public welfare of all; so far was it from being the case that their inferiority ought to have caused them pain or envy. <\/p>\n (4) Where I will meet with you.<\/strong>Rather, where I meet with you. 4<\/strong>. <\/strong> Before the testimony <\/strong> Or, ark of the covenant containing the testimony of Jehovah. Exo 25:21<\/span>.<\/p>\n The Rods Are To Be Laid Up in the Tent of Meeting before the Testimony ( Num 17:4<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> ). <\/p>\n Num 17:4<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n ‘And you shall lay them up in the tent of meeting before the testimony, where I meet with you.’ <\/p>\n These were then to be ‘laid up in the Tent of meeting, before the testimony’, in the place where Yahweh meets with His people. This probably meant in front of the veil behind which was the Ark of the covenant of Yahweh, ‘the testimony’ indicating the presence of the covenant tablets in the Ark and their testimony to the covenant. <\/p>\n Num 17:4<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>Where I will meet with you<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> Ubi ego vobis praesens adesse soleo, where I am accustomed to meet with you. <\/em>Horeb. <\/p>\n Before the testimony means before the ark, and that ark was an express type of JESUS. It is delightful to discover everything referring to our JESUS. Hence David sings, Arise, O LORD, into thy rest: thou, and the ark of thy strength. Psa 132:8<\/span> .<\/p>\n tabernacle = tent.
