God’s Staff Meeting (Numbers 17:1–13)
Following the grumbling in Numbers 16, the Lord called a “staff meeting” as a means to put an end to the people’s grumbling against his appointed leaders and, by extension, against him. It was an act of grace to prevent further death (17:10). The text shows us not only God’s provision for overcoming grumbling in Moses’ day but, more importantly, that God’s provision for overcoming grumbling is found in his chosen High Priest, the Lord Jesus Christ.
