Numbers 17 & 18 You can't get the staff

Numbers 17

God tells the Israelites to bring one staff from each tribe and leave it in the Tabernacle.
The Man God has chosen staff will sprout leaves. This will put an end to all the grumbling.

In the Morning Aaron's staff has not just sprouted, but flowered and produced a crop of almonds.

Somehow I think that God is just showing off to prove a point!

Numbers 18

The Levites are given responsibility for care and maintenance of the tent of meeting and everything apart from the most holy items - these have to be looked after by the priests only.

In return for this the community will support the Levites and priests, they are entitled to a portion of all the sacrifices offered by the community.

The chapter goes on about this for quite some time but I really cannot be bothered to go into the same level of detail!
