“And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,”
King James Version (KJV)
20:8 The rod - That which was laid up before the Lord in the tabernacle; whether it was Aaron's rod, which was laid up there, #Num 17:10|, or Moses's rod by which he wrought so many miracles. For it is likely, that wonder - working rod, was laid up in some part of the tabernacle, though not in or near the ark, where Aaron's blossoming rod was put.
20:9 From before the Lord - Out of the tabernacle.
