Numbers 17
As if the events of the preceding chapter were not evidence enough that God has chosen the tribe of Levi and Aaron in particular to serve as priests and High priest respectively, God proposes this last proof of His will regarding the matter. This has the wow factor of the magician who has you write your name on a playing card in your own handwriting in order to later verify the illusion. The men wrote their names on their staffs and submitted them all to the same fate. So when Aaron's alone was retrieved bearing fruit and each man received back their staff with their own name on it, it solidified the point God was making. He has chosen the station and the one connected to Him will bear much fruit while those not connected to Him are fruitless regardless of how much they strive.
