And Moses brought out all the rods from before the Lord, unto all the children of Israel, etc.] He brought them out of the holy place, and showed them to the princes of the several tribes: and they looked, and took every man his rod; which they knew by their names upon them; by their own handwriting, as Aben Ezra; for though Moses is bid to write their names on them, (<041702>Numbers 17:2,3); yet no more may be meant by that than that he should order them to be written, and take care that they were.
