Context of Numbers 17:11
9And Moses brought out all the rods from before the LORD to all the children of Israel: and they looked, and took every man his rod. 10And the LORD said to Moses, Bring Aaron’s rod again before the testimony, to be kept for a sign against the rebels; and thou shalt quite take away their murmurings from me, that they die not.
