the rod of Aaron . This fact was so unquestionably miraculous , that no doubt could remain on the minds of the people , or the envious chiefs , of the divine appointment of Aaron , and as there were buds , blossoms , and fruit on the rod at the same time , which was never the case with branches in the natural and ordinary course , this evidently proved the miracle , and took away all suspicion of the fraud which has been impiously suggested , that Moses had taken away Aaron's rod in the night time , and put a living branch of an almond tree in the room of it. A sceptre or staff of office resuming its vegetative life , was considered an absolute impossibility among the ancients; and as they were accustomed to swear by their sceptres , this circumstance was added to confirm the oath.

we die . Gawanoo , "we expire . " it signifies not so much to die simply , as to feel an extreme difficulty in breathing , which producing suffocation , ends at last in death. See the folly and extravagance of this sinful people , in thus rebelling against the authority of those whom Jehovah had appointed to be their rulers.
